This is going to be the mega thread to hold my various crafting stuff. If it's not your bag, please feel free to mute the entire thread (or me, of course).
I'm gonna have multiple threads branching off from this parent, it'll get gnarly, so hashtags will abound.
Right. Attempt #2 at my #BattleOfBritain #Spitfire Mk1a underwing painting.
Actually really pleased with this outcome, definitely more panel-liney. And I guess the (what is now) white undercoat for the port wing might allow similar effect once I lay down the black on that side.
And then a few other colours to lay down on upper surfaces.
And then comes a LOT of cutting different sized circles from masking tape.
Any #modelling Tooters got any tips for ensuring roundel centring using masking?
There we go! That's looking a lot happier.
Or at least a much more #WWII early war appropriate #Spirltfire.
You'd never believe I double checked which wing was which before even starting to lay down any paint, huh? 😬
Still. It's only #modelling - and really, I think it's more than likely that only I would have ever noticed the mistake in the first place....
