  1. One third of my wonderfully silly #Decepticon #Seeker project is done with a 1:72-scale #Starscream - hooray!

    I'm quite happy with him, even if the model suffered a couple of setbacks. These final photos need cleanup, but I guess this shows the result well enough to celebrate :D

    Now I need to buy, build and paint the other two Seekers!

  2. And then one of the cats knocked the damn thing to the floor. Nose wheel broke and the repair looks like it was AI-generated 😅

    I applied a yellow-grey-buff dot filtering on the top, used some Industrial Earth on the bottom and satin varnished the thing. Too shiny, will do a matt one later. And after that I'll drybrush some black on the Vulcan port, maybe the vents too.

  3. Instead of a finely controlled and elegant pin wash I covered the whole F-15E model in a dynamic thinness wash of Abteilung's Sepia. After a bit of time I cleaned it mostly up. There's still more to do, and I'll use some dot filtering and/or buff later on some bits, and a bit of Industrial Earth on the underside. I think 😄

    The drop tank gluing sucks badly, and the left landing gear came off. This fiddliness aggravates me to no end.

  4. After spending way too many decimeters of masking tape between three airbrushing sessions the regocnizable paintjob part is done for the first of three F-15s in this megaproject of mine. Seeing this makes me surprisingly happy 😄

    I've still got to do the metallics, fix a few bits where the crappy painter's tape failed, and the roundels. How in the Empire do I do those? Print some on an A4 and cut out as stencils? 🤔
