In Progress » HH-1N ‘Abandon Chute’ »

Posted on Saturday, February 6, 2010, 1:49 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress.

I’ve been planning this build for quite a while now, but needed some motivation and additional reference and parts to begin. I can’t remember why I decided that I wanted to build this exact Huey. I think I was actually looking for Cobra decals and stumbled upon the Fireball Models website where I began looking [...]

Reference » HH-1N ‘Abandon Chute’ »

Posted on Saturday, February 6, 2010, 1:49 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress, Reference.

Here’s some of my main my reference images for my HH-1N build, all re-sized from my original downloads. Let me know if you’d like a zip of my archive or if some of these belong to you as I downloaded them a while ago and don’t necessarily recall where I got them all. Some of [...]

In Progress » BergeLuther » Discoloration and Burned Out Modern Car »

Posted on Sunday, January 24, 2010, 6:39 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under For Sale, Portfolio, Tips & Techniques.

Progress continues on the BergeLuther. I’ve applied the oil discoloration using the 502 Abteilung oils paints. This time I used the colors German Gray Highlight + Faded Navy Blue, Light Rust, Dark Mud and UN Faded White. These were dabbed on as usual then blended in with clean odorless turpenoid. Before this I attached a [...]

In Progress » BergeLuther » Painting Part 2 / Chipping »

Posted on Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 5:19 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress.

Since my last post I’ve pained additional details such as caution stripes and the rubber feet parts and applied more chipping effects. First I went through and used a butter color to create false chip highlights next to some of the paint chips as well as scrapes that didn’t go through to the metal. This [...]

In Progress » BergeLuther » Mods and Painting Part 1 »

Posted on Tuesday, January 19, 2010, 10:40 pm, by Michael Fichtenmayer, under Modeling, Models In-Progress, Tips & Techniques.

I’ve been pretty bust with the commissions and such so I need a mental health build badly! I had the BegreLuther resin kit cleaned of mold release and ready to go for months now so I figured it’d be an interesting and fun build. I started off by cutting and cleaning up the gates and [...]
