Sorry to hear of your loss mate, but that paint work is immaculate I have always tried pre shading panels but can never get them looking the way you have, very nice work.

The Hair Spray is to help with the weathering John.


You spray it on, then when dry you put the top coat on in this case white. Then after that's dry you can use a brush with warm water, then gently rub at the paint. The water softens the hair spray and the top coat comes off giving it a worn weathered look ( well that's the plan )

No problems Peter, it's been that long ago even I forgot about it until Jono posted his completed one.

The paint is now on and the Panzer Putty taken off, I will work on the weathering again tomorrow

Worth the wait, that looks great Ian. Look forward to seeing the effects of the white wearing off with the hair spray effect. Not something I have tried. You didn't skimp on the brand.

[papa 695]

To be honest Joe its the first time I've used it. but don't tell the missus its hers

[Steve Brodie]

cant wait to see the weathering on this one

[takeslousyphotos]

I'm looking forward to weathering on this as well....... I'm trying it on my build as well at the moment . Not sure what result I'll get either.

Looks good Ian. Can you scuff the leading edges a bit more? I think if there was going to be wear anywhere in particular it would be on leading edges. Otherwise looking marvellous.
