Subject: Washes and panel lines
Message-ID: <200211132220.51913.Ray_Boorman@telus.net>

I have been experimenting with different types of paint washes (oil and 
Ceramcoat), ink and pencil lead to highlight engraved panel lines. I have now 
managed to totally confuse myself.  (Yes I know thats not hard)

For thinner I have used Turpentine, water, windshield washer fluid and lastly  
Liquitex Airbrush Medium - Nope dont try this one unless its thinned with 
water. 

Things I have learned 

The surface needs to be dull or the wash will just run off completely. This 
was the opposite of what I thought would happen. I thought that the wash 
would roll off a glossy surface and leave itself only in the lines. If you 
use cappilary action you must have the entire surface damp with thinner it 
helps to get the flow working. 

If using Turpentine and oil paint washes, watch out it might affect the paint 
if its an acrylic base. This surpised me, so there must be something I am 
doing wrong. Sorry oils in the past have worked great for me over enamels. 
They clean away easily and dont leave stains. in fact I paint figures in 
acrylic first and then use oils to bring the figure to life and turpentine 
has never given me problems. (I suspect its the fact that a wash has 99.999 
percent turps that is the problem)

Acrylic Inks seem to work best as far as colour but they are very hard to 
clean once in place.  As in small sploges of ink where you first placed the 
brush unless you clean the ink away immediatlely. Which means you have to 
apply repeated washes since you clean some of the wash away. 

In all cases the wash stains the surrounding finish more than I want. or i 
have the wash so diluted it doesnt change the line colour. This is where oils 
used to work so well. 

Oh I used Future, Pollyscale flat and gloss on different wing panels. Turps 
seemed to attack all of the finishes. Gloss cleans up easily with no stains 
but the line cleans away too. Matt works best but leaves stains when you 
clean the excess ink/paint away.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am having trouble?? apart from my 
normal heavyhandedness that is. or am i pushing acrylics beyond where they 
work well.

Message-ID: <200211132246.00436.Ray_Boorman@telus.net>

I havent seen the Jager models, but there were just under 4000 DFW CV's built 
of which  DFW built the most 1800 or more, with Aviatik a few hundred behind,  
halberstadt and LVG built some too but not in the same numbers.  

Does either of the DFW's have ear radiators?? if so thats more a function of 
what year, since Ideflag (sp) specified that ear radiators were not to be 
used on aircraft at the front, they used to cause the engine to seize faster 
if they leaked since the coolant would run down and into the radiater. 

Each company seems to have had different paint finishes by the way. 

I am re-building a DFW right now. Mine is a Halberstadt built aircraft with 
ear radiators. Oh the radiators seem to have been different shapes by comany. 

My only source for the above is the Windsock datafile.

Yes but this is just as much fun as building is the research for me. :-) I
went to the local library this arvo and got out the bio on Harry Hawker as
it has pics of his side by side twin seater Tabloid that he brought here Jan
1914 on a promotional tour for Sopwiths. Great pics but my scanner wont work
with XP. So have to see if the digital camera will take good pics for me of
these photos.

It seems to me that most troubles come from trying to mix plastic-based
acrylics with petroleum-based products such as certain thinners, etc. Not
having done those panel lines that you are trying to do, I can tell you that
perhaps you should try to keep all of the paint in the same "family"...ie.:
let the color chips fall where they may...* I know it's not much help, but
it's the best I could do under the circumstances~!*

OK, this isn't an attempt to wind up M Bittner. Just catching up with r.m.s 
newsgroup, and Tom Young of MAI/ESM says that Roden are planning to do a 1/72 
Nie17, so far no release date.

Now this could be idle speculation, could be a mix up with the long rumoured

Someday you must try replacing the parts with Revell fuses, is not that

I wasn't "penguined" at all, and I wasn't allowed to wear multifarious

Hi D, Welcome back and conga-rats, it has been a bit quiet while
you were away. You saved me from Jude the obscure yesterday, got a 
package from Argentina yesterday, with McCuddens Flying Fury,
fauna&flora of Iguacu, and an invitation to a wedding! So I didn't
have to throw myself into the river from sheer boredom, instead 
I started on Flying Fury, it seems very good, though I've only 
got through the introductions so far. One was by C.G.Grey, if I'd
realised that, I wouldn't have read it, few things irritates me
more than the idolization of that old geezer in Aeroplane Monthly.
About the wedding, no sorry we can't come, but you seem to
have managed the thing properly. I'm all for marriage, it's much
better than the alternative:-)

Yes a Hussar de Mort would have been the bees kneees, but
of course masquerading as Nungesser is more Bittneresque

Hi Neil of the Cold North!

Yeah? I forgot to unsubscribe and found hundreds of messages awaiting for me
here. I swear I won't ever touch a dimmer switch after reading all that.

I was delayed to send you the envelope because of the wed occupations. That
envelope traveled more in this city inside my case than from here to Sweden.
Sorry for the delay, I would have wished that the invitation would have
arrived sooner to you.

Man what a hit you may have got if you threw yourself to the ice!

LOL! The book gets much better after the introduction. Specially the latest
chapters, when Mc Cudden becomes a seasoned hunter.

I thought the Pfalz was ever so nice, I like the clean finish.
Also saw that we got a new Argentinean(?)  addition, Rodriguo
Laboureau has sent in a very nice Alb DIII peanut.

I'm glad to see that marriage hasn't impaired your ability to find a
multifarious answer to the common problems of life...

Interested as I am nowadays in Nieuport 17s, especially in those flown by
Guynemer, I was drooling over Mark's absolutely beautiful model. 

Mark's expert hand shows throughout the model and it really is beautifull.

I'm planning to do 1531, another of Guynemer's 17s but mine will be in
overall silver. There is still some discussion about 1530 also being overall
silver. Phillipe Osché advocates that in his book on Guynemer saying that
the dark wings are a result of light reflecting on the light painted
surfaces (IIRC he even says that the wings could have been CDL, but I'll
stick to silver).

well done again Mark. Your models are a continuing source of inspiration.

Pedro

Hey, a thought just struck me, how did you manage to read
this without wanting to build a SE5a? I want to build one 
even before I start!
