Kenny, my Thesaurus just ripped all of its pages out. I would love to see a series of videos on how you do this kind of work. Your description are great, but apparently I’m a visual learning...or just dense.

Lyle,

Have a look at this video here:



...and ignore Doogs’ bashing of the pre-shading technique, and just focus on the black basing part of it. Pay particular attention to the manner in which he lays the paint down- the mottling, or “marble coats” as he calls them, and pay attention to the manner in which he blends them with the blend coats. This is pretty-much exactly how I like to paint- thin, marbled layers and numerous thin blend coats.

Aw shoot man, thank you. But Hell- of that fella hasn’t posted that black basing video, and other folks hasn’t posted videos about it, I wouldn’t be here. Same goes for Nick Millman and all the research he and his colleagues have done, this project never would’ve happened. Just lots of learning and practice and reading and exploring. That’s all it is.

Hey! If you’d like to build and paint a Mitsubishi A6M2, here’s the formulae straight from Nick Millman:

Airframe:
100 parts XF14 IJA Gray
40 parts XG49 Khaki
3 parts XF53 Neutral Grey
3 parts XF2 White XF2
2 parts XF7 Red XF7

Control Surfaces:
105 parts XF-19 Sky Gray
20 parts XF-49 Khaki
15 parts XF-25 Lt. Sea Gray

Go forth and build yourself a lovely Zero and paint it with this incredible color. :-D
