hey Donatas......

those are some of the most ( no......THE MOST!!) wicked looking little foamies i have ever seen!! Awesome job!!

I'm actually scratch builing my very first foamie right now. I'm doing it in the same color scheme as my 35% wildhare sukhoi. It's turning out pretty good so far. I'll post some pictures of it by this weekend to this thread. It should turn out pretty good......but it aint gonna look as good as your....holy crap!! Your foamies look like a peice of art man.

Guys, thanks for kind replies!!! Glad you like it and most important use my advices. Keep visiting my homepage, there will be more painting threads posted soon. Also some interesting building and setup tips are on the way. Naturally i will share them here on FG to!


Here is my last paint work on my new Futurion XXL for outside summer hucking, this time i cheat This is done with single action airbrush, now looking forward to try more serious double action tool.






And by the way this plane is reall ROCKET, i never saw any glow ore gas plane that could acelerate so fast out of hovering !!! New 20-25/40c Tanic 3S 780mah packs and geared Himax are killer setup! Should make new video with it soon.

Absolutely stunning! You're an artist with foam. I read your tips and tricks and have one question. What do you use for sticky back film for the templates and how do you get it less sticky to keep from damaging the depron?

I've got an Airfoilz Yak that I want to build and paint to match my 72" Aeroworks Yak (see pic). I contemplated doing it in low heat film, but paint would probly be a helluva lot lighter.

Hi Rick, thx man!

Yes i had same problems..., it is best to use low clamminess tape for hinges it is used specially for painting, im sure you can find it in hardware store, it is really cheap, is very easy to use and don't make any damage to depron. If you can't find it use any sticky tape/film you have, but before putting it depron, first glue and remove it (few times) to fabric ore simply duty surface, you need to play little to find best stage for painting, repeat this till stencils holding good but also make no damage for depron. Other solution would be stencils from depron, you always can use attach them with needles, but in this case you will get holes..

For your airfoilz Yak i suggest go with paint you save good amount of weight ans flyign characteristics!

Cheers
Donatas,

Those are sick, I just started painting foamies heres my first three pretty simple stuff the snake was a pain I hand cut cardboard and laid it out still looking for a better masking system any tips would be helpful.

[Troy P]

Nice. HAHA, snakes on a plane!!

[DiabloKid]

Donatas - your skill is nothing short of amazing and I will never be able to paint like you so LOL

[Donatas]

Thx guys! Diablokid just try it, little patient and you will do it, its pretty easy just take some time.

Snap, real nice airbrush, i suspect it was allot job with masking, is it your own designed picture ore you ussed some advices/tutorials? By the way what airbrush pistol you use? Im looking for good price/performance double action airbrush any suggestions? So far i thin Badger 150 from Tower should be good start. Here is one more airbrushed Futurion kit, i like this scheme pretty much.



Not much credit for me for scheme since i usse great Manuel Nubel tips:
