As the paint was dry enough, I don't waited until tomorrow and removed the maskol today.

Better to use maskol (from Humbrol) than neo (from Gunze) because the last one is harder to remove (better adherence; in such a case it's not an advantage)

OK, it's a new technique for me; I'm really happy with that but I think experience will permit a better use  :))

Very nice! I like techniques such as this because of the "randomness" of the chipping, sometimes when applying the chips by brush or a silver pencil you can sort of fall into a pattern that is not so random. Hope that made some sense?

It might be nice to add this paint-chipping method to Sall's "Some modeling techiques" sticky thread!

Thank you Sall!

Today, work on different elements:

First, the engine: I've airbrushed Vallejo Oily Steel with a drop of black. Then followed a very strongly diluted spray of Oily Steel with Old Gold. Next phase will be the use of Citadel Colors brown ink.

Airbrush cleaning...

I've airbrusehd yellow on the propeller.

Airbrush cleaning...

I've airbrushed grey on the engine

Airbrush cleaning...

I've partially airbrushed (another kind of) grey on the rockets. I've to airbrush the heads next time

Airbrush cleaning...

...And enough for today  :))
