Great work Si ,I presume the primer was mr color stuff what number was it ,I think the highest is 1500 higher the number the finer the pigment ,used with mr colour se lf leveling thinner it lays on just so easy and smooth ain't the word,are you going to gloss coat before weathering I can never make up my mind some times I do(kleer) others I don't always think it looks more organic without like how it should be ,looking forward to your next move. Dave

Cheers Dave, glad you like :smiling4:
This is the primer stuff....


Which I combined with self leveling thinner....it don’t half pong but you can’t go wrong :smiling5:

Once the stencils are done, I’ll chuck a coat of Tamiya semi gloss on it before weathering with enamels.
I’ve had enamel thinner attack the paint before but a coat of varnish seems to stop that.

Outstanding work on the base coats Comrade. Looking forward to seeing the stencil and weathering work

Cheers Steve, your wish is my command :smiling5:

Stencil went on nicely I’m happy to say and then it got a filter or two.


I’ll leave the oils a few days to dry out then continue with weatherin.

Thanks for looking
all comments welcome

The oils dried nicely and it then got a grimy pin wash.
I had more pictures but they seem to have disappeared :thinking:



Thanks for looking

Hi Si
I'm liking what I see. No. 23 has come out well. The oil work is a treat to see.

The Paint & weathering are looking very good Si, my only concern is the first suspension axle arm on the left hand side looks to be missing.

The committee has awarded the Dogs Award even before this is finished. A rare achievement Mr Benson.

No Roller!! Well that’s just not proper Bob:smiling5:

No carpet monster trouble for me....no carpet under the kitchen table!
The tile monster is a different breed however and will add increased speed, distance and alternate trajectories to pinged parts....leading to some sort of inter-dimensional worm hole I believe :smiling5:
