I thought that i would try to make the underside of the car as realistic as possible. I added alot of texture to the underside of the car where the gearbox and differential sit. I did this in a matt black waited for it to go tacky and then stabbed a brush over it to make it look textured. I then did a black powder dust over it before fullly dry to simulate road grime.
The subframes i wanted to look like a real car subframe. So i sanded it down, painted with matt black, then did a brown wash to simulate rust. I then did a black powder dust to tone down and blend and then did some pronunced brown parts by dry brushing certain areas in brown and then finishing off with a semi gloss black on the bits that didnt see rust yet again blended with black powder.
The gearbox cover was a combination of gloss black base and a dry brush of matt black and bolts picked out with silver.
The exhaust pipe was painted with Alclad titanium sliver, buffed to a shine and then a black pinwash on the heatsheild.
The heatsheild i wante to really shine. So for these i used humbrol metalcoat and kept the brush strokes pronunced to make it look like road wear.
The front part were painted matt black with a lot of oil stain to dull it up to look like plastic covers that have seen some road.
Now i am knackered i have been on this since 10 am this morning and now im having a cup of teaComment

Great work on the differing tones especially going to so much detail underneath the model. I think you deserve that cup of tea

Well. Thats it my airbrush has given up. The o rings have dissolved, i guess i should have expected that using the types of paint i have been using also the airbrush cleaner probably hasnt helped. Anyone know where i can get a teflon o ring kit? Or i might just buy a better airbrush. Or i could repair this and keep for acrylics only. And have a nice new airbrush solely for the nasty paint

Did you get your ab fixed? I would easily recommend an h&s as they strip down so easily and parts are cheap and easy to getComment

Naah just bought another cheapie airbrush for now.
Ok im back on the model. Done the Base coat for the leather. Next is a satin finish just to make the leather look realistic and a black pinwash. And then start on the detail.
