prowler0000 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 THAT looks like a LOT of masking...! Quite like the pewter effect, Can I ask why you did it that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickpadwick1801 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Nice job. I love the pewter effect. How was that done? I have a 1701-A to repaint and would like to do it in that way. Love the lights by the way. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1984_99_99 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 There was a LOT of masking in this one! ..and to be honest there were quite a few corners I cut aswell just to save on the time! Spent most of the time putting the aztec masks on and taking them off than the actual painting process. Colour wise it was given an undercoat of white then titanium pearlescent which I loved but decided was slightly too dark (I kept it for the base though) then went for 2 shades of metallic silver from the local car shop (after trying out about half a dozen various colours from online and in model/car shops) The aim was to go for something that was similar to the screen correct colour rather than the correct colour of the filming model which is closer to white than anything.
