Hello fellow modelers,
Started a short-term project. For such reasons:
1. To add some variety in my modeling activity as Canberra’s project is rather demanding, long-term and far from phase when it will be started in paper form.
2. To practice a little more with texturing.
3. To test newly brought scroll-saw machine (wohoo!!! :) )
• First of all the He-343 is an aircraft that existed only as a pre-protoype drawings. It is somehow rather fictional, that is why I don’t have to stick to any particular details. The model is an interpretation of my own how HE-343 might have been look like. Scale 1/48
• Textures
I’ve always admire work of people who a very good ion texturing. Professionally accomplished textures might give as good improvement to a simple model as a multiplication of parts or shapes.
After testing various software I’ve choose “Inkscape”. A bit buggy but fast to work and have some nice tools. BTW decided not to enter “raster area” ant stay in vector environment. I know, I won’t achieve any good results only in vector editors but my enthusiasm vanished as texture editing is as much demanding work as 3D modeling itself...
Here’s my humble achievement:
Duplicated rivet line, one line made dotted and for another used blur tool to create something similar into shadow or sludge area around rivets.
• And finally the craft scroll-saw.
Brought a tool that I’ve always dreamed about. I won’t bother to tell what a frustrating work is to cut dozens of formers out of 2mm card paper… Moreover when designing Canberra I realized how many former pats it will have so without many hesitations took Dremel saw (plus it had a discount :rolleyes: ).
Here’s first result
About 30 parts from 1.5mm card-paper in ~ 1 hour.
The saw cuts without scratching edges with some conditions:
The thickness of residual paper along the edge must be at least 4-5mm. Although I managed to cut out wing frame which is about 7-4mm in thickness, but the end of parts were a bit damaged. Smaller and more precise cuts still must be accomplished with knife.
But again, for larger parts (especially for ship building) scroll-saw is an ideal tool.
