There was a night I was making some really huge choices, and was so full of emotion. To help me deal, and sort out my thoughts, I stayed up all that night editing this photo.

Now the exhibition is fully under way I feel it's time to put up the other four of the 'Splintered thoughts' collection :D
Not too sure how much the youth of the present and future have experience with wooden toys. But when my mind flies back to fragmented memories of my earliest days I remember many happy moments playing with solid simple shapes of wood with painted designs of cars, dogs or just primary colours.
And when I'm thinking those thoughts I like to believe this is in someway how I appear to everyone around me.

These racing motorcycles had NO BRAKES!

Lassù, dove il mirto contende le radure al rododendro e il larice ascolta l'eco di valli lontane, il cielo decise un giorno di adagarsi a contemplare le vette innevate. Se ne innamorò. E fu così che lasciò infiniti frammenti di sè sparsi sulla catena montuosa più affascinante del mondo: il Lagorai.
Schegge di cielo sulla terra.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For those who might be wondering how shredder got into that position. I don't have the time or patience or good enough software to edit out the clear pieces. Less editing means more building!
No clue what this was... it was near the Central Energy Plant. Would make one HELL of a bonfire pit!

The pain is real. He has a splinter in his finger.

Painting and markings:
The more challenging part of the build - and I stuck closely to the inspiring profiles and their color choice, choosing a pattern of diagonal "splinter stripes" in rather unique tones:
• FS 35042 (USN Sea Blue; Humbrol 181)
• FS 34227 (Intermediate Green; Humbrol 120)
• FS 30118 (US Field Drab; Humbrol 142)
• FS 35622 (IDF Pale Blue; Humbrol 122), which was also used for the undersides
Painting was done free-handedly, with brushes and some tape for masking, and I stuck to the original color suggestions except for the pure FS35622 on the upper surfaces: I toned it slightly down with a little RLM76 (Humbrol 247), but it is still very bright and the contrast between all colors is really harsh.
Anyway, painting the splinter scheme was easier than it seems, since the areas of each of the four upper side tones was rather small, so that the straight lines were rather short. Only the tight edges needed some corrections, but that was mostly mended during the washing/shading process.
As a design twist, the drop tanks (taken OOB, these are the bigger tanks for the Hawk's export versions) and their respective pylons received the colors of the standard Ilmavoimat Hawks: the pylons were painted in a light olive green (Humbrol 159) while the tanks were painted in a murky, dark brown (a mix of Humbrol 10 and 66) with pale grey (Humbrol 166) undersides.
The cockpit interior was painted in Gull Gray (FS 36231), while other interior surfaces and the landing gear were kept in lighter RAF Aircraft Grey.
For the markings I relied upon the OOB decal sheet; deviating from the inspiring profiles I stuck to the OOB tiny Finnish roundels that were introduced in the Nineties, and they go well with this experimental scheme. Otherwise, markings are rather minimal, just a lot of stencils were applied, the Airfix OOB sheet is pretty exhaustive (with a zillion of stencils, merely 1x1mm in size… There are even decals to be placed on landing gear joints!? Seriously?). As a side benefit, the OOB Finnish aircraft comes with low-viz stencils, placed on a green background. On the fictional splinter livery of my build they blend well into the overall look, the whole aircraft looks very natural (but still original).
In order to emphasize the engraved panel line the kit received a black ink wash and some panel shading through dry-brushing on the upper surfaces, with only slightly lighter tones (e. g. RAL 5008 on the dark blue and RAF Cockpit Green on the FS 34227). I just wanted a subtle effect. Finally, after the decals had been applied, the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).

Deadvlei, Sossusvlei, Namibia.
Deadveli means "dead marsh." The trees here are believed to be about 900 years old, but have not decomposed because the environment is so dry.
