Hi All
I just thought I'd post up a post showing the progress of my RS Prop Masters ESB bucket. I have been working at this for about 3 weeks now and I didnt bother posting up a step by step progress as you're all probably sick of seeing them.
Anyhow, I used Rafalfett's awesome stencils as a base but I didn't use Maskol for any of the paint masking (yet!), this has all been done via the typical layering process but using vinyl stencils cut on one of my plotters. Took ages redrawing them in vector format to create the stencils and it was a bit of trail and error finding a vinyl that was easy to use without too many issues. I think it came out quite well for my first attempt... but that' s just my opinion.
I used a base coat of Metallic silver from a rattle can (over primer obviously) to start then everything else was the usual Humbrol Enamels through the airbrush, all the details like the logos and kill stripes are done by vinyl cut stencils and airbrushed as well.
I've just got some more details to add topically, some more weathering and to re-paint the rangefinder as something isnt quite right with it, paint is not drying on the thing! Oh yes and the visor to fit, but I have to make a new one as the one I got from RS Props wasn't cut straight so I'll have to make another from 3mm acrylic.
Here's some pics so far and I'll post more up when I finish it. (pics arnt that great, it's a bit dark inside and the camera on my phone isnt the best but you get the idea)
