GrandpaPhil Posted September 23, 2020 Author #31 Posted September 23, 2020 Denis, There were two layers of plastic for me to drill through, so I just drilled at an angle. The top of the dowel rod is sitting against the top of the fuselage. The first step in painting the Hustler is to prime it black: Regardless of whether I use faux metallics or just use metallics, I need the black base to give the model depth. I am pleased with how the seams came out. They pretty much disappeared. marktiedens, Canute, Edwardkenway and 3 others 6 Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)
GrandpaPhil Posted September 24, 2020 Author #32 Posted September 24, 2020 Step 2 of faux metallics is to dry brush a dark dark gray: The faux metallic effect is created with contrast. Now to create that contrast. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Canute and 6 others 9 Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)

GrandpaPhil Posted September 24, 2020 Author #34 Posted September 24, 2020 Thank you, OC. The first attempt at using faux metallics failed. The model is too large, and too bright, to use the same technique that I would on say, a knight. However, I never did know when to give up: The model is currently a medium gray. I am going to attempt to use dry brushing to create a brushed metal finish on the model.

GrandpaPhil Posted September 24, 2020 Author #37 Posted September 24, 2020 Faux metallics didn’t go so well. I ended up using Ceramcoat platinum paint. It looks good. I am happy with it.

yvesvidal Posted September 28, 2020 #41 Posted September 28, 2020 Could that paint be polished or buffed, like certain metallic paints? That would increase the shine. Yves Egilman, Old Collingwood, popeye the sailor and 6 others 9
GrandpaPhil Posted September 28, 2020 Author #42 Posted September 28, 2020 Thank you all for the comments, the likes and just for stopping by! Yves, The model looks much shinier in person. It actually looks like metal. The Pulaski Hustler is almost done. I apologize for the condition of my work area, it is a disaster, but I’ve been busy. The decals are on, but a small bit of detail painting remains on the aircraft itself, as well as some touch ups. The underwing nukes still need painted. The base needs gloss coated. The entire plane needs sealed so the decals don’t peel off later and the paint is protected. yvesvidal, Javlin, Canute and 11 others 14 Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)

Once they dry, I will seal them. The first coat of gloss coat on the base is drying. I will probably put four or five coats on it to give it a good shine. thibaultron, Edwardkenway, Landlubber Mike and 7 others 10 Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)

lmagna Posted October 2, 2020 #57 Posted October 2, 2020 As usual I'm a little late but this build really turned out nice Phil. I will never get tired of the lines of the Hustler. I like your slightly climbing pose as well instead of a flat stance. It shows the plane in a much more dynamic light than just sitting on a runway. Gives it a sense of movement and speed that the Hustler needs to show off. Another part of your build I found interesting was when you were applying the black undercoat. It showed what the B-58 could have looked like in a different life as a Blackbird style reconnaissance aircraft. VERY sinister looking. yvesvidal, king derelict, Egilman and 8 others 11 Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey
