I use both and rattle can etc and all seem to work okay.


This is the effect you get on Ali with a thinned oil wash:

The blade has been primed, then coated in ali spray, once dry it had a oil wash and sponged, it dulls the shine and gives a slight black patchy-ness. Of course you would do it finer and to scale.

Lovely.


I was considering for future builds how to add a fine texture so that a light oil wash can sit in the troughs and then a very very light dry brush can highlight the peaks.


Dont know how to achieve the texture though

[eddiesolo]

One thing I do is to do the main paint colour, do all your bits and pieces and leave to dry. Then seal it with a varnish and leave to dry. Now you can do a pin wash-again use thinned oils and a very fine brush in panel lines etc, you will find that the thinned paint will flow around objects, any excess can be cleaned up using a cotton bud and some thinners. Once dry you can then dry brush your colour to highlight raised areas etc.

This picture shows the same effect but on the floor of my 1/24 Huey.

You can see the paint has run around the the round things on the floor.

Getting there with the body and the discs are my first time messing about with alclad (calipers to be painted later). Also I drilled the discs.


A good sanding of the filler primer and a (please God) final white primer coat and that's the body done.


What do you guys think of my first scratch body kit? I know it's simplistic and the roof vent was an extra from my scoobie kit.

Very nice work. The body shell looks great. Very well recovered.

Nice blending of the roof scoop Dougie! Not sure Enzo would approve though!


I might be joining the car building fraternity if I win an eBay auction

What you hoping to get? I'm done buying for. Bit. Got most of the old ones I wanted.


As for the roof scoop, you would be right, I've gone for a kind of race car/ boy racer mash up. I was sceptical about it but I had it lying around and the car needed something more. I'm still touting with an aftermarket small spoiler

John.

Cheers, I'm hoping the back wheels look ok in this as well. The vents on the skirts sit out a touch so I hope I don't need to widen the stance and flare the arches, I tried my best to avoid that by making the vents slim. I think on similar setups on the real thing the vents narrow to the back.

I bid on a blue one that finished yesterday but let it go for 9 quid. Was only looking for a steal. I love the look of those and will do one at some point
