maschinen krieger- Falke Repaint 2

Back at this again. More layers. Feels never ending maybe because it been so long since I've painted....

art - It be like getting a Pollock before anyone knew it was a Pollock

Kevin Derken's Deathspotter Print

Every so often a collector has the opportunity to purchase a piece later valued at more than they paid. Be it a sentimental or financial worth (or both), the appreciation attached to a piece grows as the artist who created it gets more exposure. This is the case with Kevin Derken's work- as he continues to create, it will increasingly draw attention. His earlier pieces, priced very reasonably considering the creative vision, time ,effort and technique they embody will likely become more difficult to come by.

Right now you have 14 opportunities to own a piece by Derken. They're available HERE.

maschinen krieger- Falke Repaint I

I met a modeler on Instagram also into Maschinen Krieger. He lives near, so I invited him over for a paint demo. He brought a 6 pack of ASAHI beer. RZJOEY is alright.

The Falke was my second build. I painted it with a Tamiya rattle cans (as seen below) and have wanted to strip and hand paint it for some time now.

So, for a subject to demo paint, I decided to use the Falke. First, I had to strip the enamel paint off it. Enter GUNZE, Mr Color Thinner for the job.

After stripping- 

I then primed the model with Army Painters metallic primer. After giving a coat of Mr Color metallic, I covered the model with Mr Color Silicon Barrier. The photos below are after the first coats of lacquer paint, Copic marker pre-weathering and application of large decals.

 

That all for now, folks.

And I just noticed the letter E is not centered....
