- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In this video we convert a Revell 747-8 kit #RMG3891 into an Austin Powers psychedelic style exterior 747 using images from the movies. This involves creating custom templates and masks to create the patterns using measurements of the model & illustrations, the Photoscape X software program, and enlargements of movie screen shots to guide airbrushing similar designs on the model using Vallejo paints.

That looks pretty cool! I love those movies lol
Maybe an idea for the future, an F-20 Tigershark with a frickin' laser beam on it.
🤣
I last built a 1/144 scale model back in the 1980s when I did a few Airfix airliners. Enjoyed them as I recall but wow, kits in this scale have seriously improved (it has been nearly 40 years!)
I am amazed at the skills and patience on display here. Brilliant!
Hi Michael, it certainly was a test of endurance and some fortitude. Thanks for the comments 😃
What an amazing model, speechless !
Thanks Kit Crafting, it was tough!
Max: This will be a change from our more sombre videos...
14:51 - TOTAL NUMBER OF FATALITIES: 583
Brilliant.
Max, I love your channel and I hope you don't quit. I intend to start my own modelling channel soon and if I was to end up with 0.1% of your subscriber numbers I'll be delighted (and frankly, dumbfounded).
Regarding the amount of chat/audio in your vids - definitely keep up the chat and personal photos. When you tell us of your experiences with these planes in the Air Force it gives a unique perspective that other channels don't have and it's great, really informative stuff. Audiowise, you have the only channel where I thought the "headset mic" suited as it gave a sort of "pilot talking over the radio" effect that seemed to add to the vibe! But whatever mic you use, just keep making these videos! You have been a great help to me in my fledgling modelling efforts.
All the best from Scotland!
Hi Seppington DeStamina, first of all, good luck with your channel! Yes, I thought about the misalignment of the comedic nature of the build to the Tenerife addition while I worked on the video. But, it was an important piece of 747 history, albeit very tragic. Thanks for taking the time to write out very nice comments and critiques! 😃
Awesome work as always.
You out did your self with this one .
SOO KOOOOOLLLL.
Mike Espo .
Hi Mike, thank you and Cheers! 😄
Amazing work again buddy!
Thanks Xtremis Models, very kind of you, sir! I saw that stash you have --much work ahead! 😲
Anytime buddy! Yes, a lot of work to do with plenty of exciting builds ahead. 😎👍👍
Ok, Now I'm seriously impressed. You've really stepped up your game now
Hi kommasar, thanks, that's very kind! Actually, this video has broken three records for me in less than 12 hours of release (all of them bad ones 😏)
That took some bravery to pull that off. It’s not a million miles away from some of the schemes that Qantas tried on a couple of their jets many years ago and recently on Hi Fly’s A380.
Huh! Looks unique, and the painting process itself was gorgeous!
Hi Madding Ladding, it's unique for sure 😉
Great job!
Hi Joshua, thank you and Cheers! 😃
woah nice. is this what 747 looks like when you are on acid lol. great job as always
🤪
Nice job! I like how you incorporate stories and explain what you are building; absolutely terrific!
Hi Logan, Thank you very much! 😊
I never thought about putting the Date inside the model so you know when you built it
Hi Agents, it's a quirky thing I started way back in high school. I would scribble dates during class on books we had to buy for reading assignments in English class. I still have some of those books and can look on them and know what I was doing for just a moment on a particular day and year. Like a time capsule message... 🤭
@@MaxAfterburner nice
it's... an interesting colour xD
but you put good work in it and it looks pretty good so congrats, you did good
Hi elcore_, I appreciate that, thanks much 🙂
I built this model a couple months ago it looks great, but the front landing gear broke off☹️😔
Hi Landon Cash, mine broke too in the middle of the nose strut. I glued it back together at the end of the build.
How come you didn’t use white or a metallic coat as the base? I use Vallejo model air and Mig paints and they go well in single layers on lighter paints.
Interesting subject choice! I love what you are able to achieve in a short time. Your B-52 is an inspiration for sure!
Thanks
Harald
Hi Harald, yes the dark base coat was a bad choice as I mentioned at the beginning of the black shading clip and also near the end of the video. The idea to do the Austin Powers 747 was a suggestion from a colleague at work and I thought it was a great notion. We both thought it would be a relatively successful video. But actually, it bombed! I'm glad you liked the B-52, at least. 🙂
I think this would have benefited well from post-shading the colours, with a light primer, dark base coat and then bright post-shading. It unfortunately looks like bright paints over black (somewhat unsurprisingly).
Hi Charlie, I thought I'd take a humorous route on a model build and went into a lot of areas I don't normally venture. I know it's not great. 😉
@@MaxAfterburner I still enjoyed watching so i suppose you got right what matters most.
Hi Max, definitely an original build and the effort you put in the masking is admirable. As you stated, a dark base color isn't the best option, especially when using light shades as white, yellow or red. A black base makes colors less vibrant and they just look off. When I paint, I use a neutral undercoat as mr surfacer or tamiya primer. Such a shame you had trouble in this build. The way water acrylics spray is one of the reasons I don't use them, I only spray tamiya and gunze acrylics. Talking about them, there is a thing that makes me curious and that is the way you use them. It looks like they are applied dustily, as if they are dried before touching the surface. What air pressure, dilution ratio and thinner do you use? I use store bought lacquer thinner in a ratio 30% paint and 70% thinner at 8/9 psi (0,6 bar circa) in various light coats that are just slightly wet. This gives me a solid, smooth and hard finish. It's such a joy to me. Best regards
Hi Master Villain, I didn't dilute the Vallejo at all, that was straight out of the bottle and over diluted in my opinion. I used my standard pressure which might be around 20 psi. My compressor has no gauge.
I was actually referring to tamiya and gunze acrylics, since they are the ones I have experience with. Are you considering adding at least a pressure regulator to your compressor?
Hi, I keep thinking the compressor is so old that it's going to breakdown soon, so I don't want to invest more into it. However, it keeps on chugging away! For the Tamiya paints I've always mixed in a ratio of about 75% to 80% paint to thinner -- for airbrushing.
I understand. If that is the case, I think you are right to not spend on it. If one day you will decide to buy a new compressor, you will see how much more enjoyable it will be. Greetings
Incredible work, but it seems like a nightmare that got worse and worse to make :P
Hi ChrisGladiatorGames, thanks. It was time consuming and difficult for me and I thought viewers would enjoy the effort. Doesn't seem to be going over very well, however. 🤔
@@MaxAfterburner I think your effort and skill were there, but the tools (especially that watery paint) let you down
GROOVY BABY!!!
😆
Can you build an A-4 skyhawk?
Hi EpicEli04, how are you? I'm not sure about the future. It's been a disappointing year for the channel and I consider it on a form of life support. So, time will tell for A-4's, F-111s, and other builds. 🤔
@@MaxAfterburner Best wishes and good luck! You could try to do a collaboration with a bigger channel to try and boost your viewer base. Also you could create social media accounts for your channel and post photos there, and the word would get out a lot more when you upload.
Thanks for the suggestions. Did you have a particular A-4 kit in mind?
Nah, I don't think it's on life support. I like your channel. The 1/48 Hasegawa kit is the most accurate. Hobbyboss has inaccurate slats. I would recommend getting a metal landing gear from G-factor if you build the Hasegawa kit. Best of luck!
@@MaxAfterburner I think the ones in 1/48 and 1/32 by hasegawa are pretty good, the panel lines are slightly shallow though.
Nice work could u build a f111 🍺
Hi Drone, still after that F-111 aren't you? This latest video looks like it will be another poor performer along with the other 2020 releases. We'll have to see.
2 things...Vallejo paints are terrible (imo) compared to Tamiya and AK, and kudos to you on sticking with it. All that masking and swapping airbrush colors would have drove me to quit.
Hi Brian, thanks, I did want to stop the project a few times, but I decided to push through and finish it. Considering the overall response, I probably should have shelved it anyway.
Moin können sie einen Translantic Airlines Boeing 747 200 the survivor 1981 oder volee Airlines 747 200 machen das wäre super
Well Tom, that was different! Let me make a wild guess and say this was the most difficult, time-consuming build you’ve ever done, right? Yet there are those viewers who chose to look at this as some type of failure on your part. I think it’s a failure on their part.
WHAT you built may not catch my fancy, but HOW you built it is ALWAYS helpful to watch. I love to build airplanes. But there are plenty of aircraft models that I’ll never buy: wrong era, wrong Country, ugly-looking a/c, etc. That’s all on me.
But you chose to make something outside your comfort zone. Because how else are you going to get better? Sure, building 50, P-51 Mustangs will teach you a few modeling skills (we hope!) but building 50 different WWII aircraft will teach you a LOT more; about modeling, about aircraft building and design, about WWII.
And when it comes down to it, that is why I model; to learn stuff.
To those complainers: If you want to critique how I built something, then thank you for helping me become a better modeler (constructive criticism); but to say something is a fail simply because you don’t like it, well you missed the point.
Sorry guys. This man spends his time and money (a lot of both) to help US get better. Appreciate that. I do.
Thanks Tom. Keep working on it!
PS who did the background “rain” sounds? That’s always a nice relaxing touch!
PSS My guess on number of windows: 26, 392,476?
Thanks for the very kind comments Thom Ream, this build was as you say 😮! The rain is just from a miscellaneous track and you only missed the window count by a couple! 😊
747: I call him mini me... He's exactly 1/144 my size!
😉
you are a brave man Max! beat me with a club. the windows alone would have put this kit back on the shelf for me. once again you a persevered and brought out a stunning model. great job.
Hi mustangbob51, thanks, you're always very kind. Project #23 looks like it will hit many records for this channel (all of them bad ones).
ha ha, not likely!
Max: Once again, I loved your job. Boenig was very beautiful in this painting. Congratulations!!!
One question: Do you have a Facebook page?
Hi Luiz, you're too kind. To answer your question, this channel does not have an FB page.
Great video ! You don't see too many airliners builds online ! Thank you !!! Cheers, Tony
Hi Tony, definitely not many airliners like this one! 🤪
It would be better if you released the video on April 1st. I have a 787-8 model in Lufthansa livery, but 2 months after I finished the model, Lufthansa unveiled their new livery on their 787-8 with the same registration number as my model.
Oh, behave!
P.S. -- Part of what I like about the Austin Powers series is that it homages my favorite Connery Bond film heavily -- which is "You Only Live Twice."
Yes, I'm aware "Goldfinger" was heavily homaged, too, but that seems to be THE sentimental Connery favorite! YOLT deserves more love than it gets!!!!
And, yes, I actually like Dr. Evil more than Austin Powers himself!
Hi AvengerII, back in the day when they re-released movies in the theaters, my mother took us to see a double feature of Thunderball and YOLT. It was my introduction to 007 and boy, was it fantastic!
Really really nice. These models by Revell are cheap and great value for money.
Hi David, this project was an oddball, one-off build, so a cheap kit was in order for sure!
@@MaxAfterburner i am building a 1/144 a320 by revell now. Its really quick built and a very nice result. I love these civilian airliners.
i think a light grey primer would have been better
black primer gave those colors a not so bright and a dirty look
Hi Mehdi J, yep, lesson learned. I did think the Vallejo was going to perform better than it did and enable me an "out" should the NATO Black be a problem.
What a great build and video! Although not my modeling genre, I'm so glad I watched the video. I may have flown in that flying tiger 747 going to Okinawa, Japan with my unit, who knows! Once again I love your videos and builds. Keep them coming!
Hi Julio, thanks! It's certainly my "oddball" project as I call it. An attempt at amusement for everyone who watches this one 😄
I wish I could like this more then once!!!
You're very kind and I appreciate this comment! Thanks "just another modeler 14" 😄
Sure max your my favorite channel!!!! Your builds are top notch, tou should have way more subscribers!
When the masking tape cost more than the model or even the paint!😂 Its fun to see how you apply your „military aircraft skills“ e.g. doing spaghetti pattern on a „commercial“ jet. I feel how you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone. Its not your best build but for the challenge level its still a very good one.
One last thing im wondering: wouldnt it be easier to dip or paint the window-„bar“ first with the masking fluid and put then into the model instead of masking it when on the model. The 252 windows must have been a torture.
Hi Iron Spike, yep, came up short on this one, but I wanted to try something different to amuse everyone. I'm an amateur who "wings it" and so there are products out there I might not be familiar with that might have saved me from some of that torture. 😇
This is a pure *chefs kiss* 😍
Hi Macree, thanks 🍲!
Interesting build Max Afterburn. I remember building ZVEZDA 747-8, and the pain of masking those 244 windows by hand.
Hi TopThrillDan, many, many windows! 😅
Thank you!
Hi Nikolay, you bet! 🙂
"Most unpopular model build"
AMAZING! How much time did you spend masking and painting?
Hi Lawrence, I luckily didn't keep track of the time spent on that or I would have quit!
awesome job keep them coming
Hi Gilbert, I appreciate that! 😇
КЛАСС!!! И ведь ни у кого такого больше нет... Ну разве что у Остина. Великолепно!!!
огромное спасибо Leha 😉
If you do another ship sometime would you consider the Very Fire 1/350 Des Moines class Heavy Cruiser?
Hi 0EvilLemons0, I'd like to do another ship soon, but who knows? 😉
Sometimes you just need to do one "wacky." Turned out nicely.
My bro, who only builds airliners put me on to something for white-painted equipment: Prime with Testors rattle can silver. The hard part is letting it go on "blotchy." It will preshade with gunmetal. Then, when your white paint goes on (too thin as it usually does) you are not "fighting black" but "covering metal." Just 2¢ for you to spend, if you care to.
Thanks CAPNMAC82, I thought this one was going to do really well when the idea came up, but it's been a total bomb of a video. It will be in the "basement" for ratings and for number of views for as long as this channel may remain in existence 😒
@@MaxAfterburner Hey, remember it's the height of summer, and views are down all over--your content is some of the best out there.
Even if this one was a bit boffo. Being serious all of the time will dull the edge.
Some folk just don't grok. The hours of editing don't register. Nor that the subject matter can be complicated. Consider all the Braniff or SouthWest Airlines specialty paint schemes would confuse randos.
So fun! Still lots to learn. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Someday, I want to see a model jet kit adapted to look like the Plastic Jet in the Plastic Man animated series they had in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
That was basically a jumbo jet (or more like an adapted C-5/C-130 cargo type plane?) with a wing more like an A-10's. The wing pivoted 90-degrees to allow a VTOL jet mode. It had HUGE jet engines, too.
Stupidly impractical, yeah, but cool for a superhero series!
If you're not Superman, you have to have your own way to fly around!
Yeah baby! Awesome video.
Thanks Jeremiah! 😊
smashiing!!
Hi Diga Wedhana, thanks for the generous comment 🙂
I'm probably the only other person who uses Testors spray lacquer as my gloss coat
*What an ugly decoration, you've been very patient for the masking, congrats! 👍👍👏*
Hi Forever Plastic kits, thanks, it was the masking project from hell 😅
That's a nice one. For the future, if you ever do something similar... If you really want the colors to pop, first do a gloss base coat. Then silver or chrome, then do the main paint over that using inks. This way, as they're translucent, you get a really popping and if wanted a color shifting look. If you use acrylic inks you can use any acrylic mediums you might normally use.... Thinners, etc. This is something I've learned watching miniature painters.
Hi Jaani, yeah, I tried many new things to juggle and it didn't quite make it. A "learning experience" as I mention. I almost shelved the project a couple of times🤔
Max,
You never fail to impress and entertain and this groovy build is no exception.
Thanks for sharing, baby!
Hi Firstname Lastname, Thanks again! 😊
Wow!I have never seen that in realife and also in the picture.Very beatiful one
Keep up your pro modelling skill
Hi yeeyee cho, thank you so much 😀
Fantastic build ! I would love to see other builds like this. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Starfleet Aviation, this one was brutal 😳
