S5 modeller Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Hi chaps. Any idea how I can replicate this finish in a tinted yellow for a pave tack lens cover? I want the flat yellow gloss look for my resin version. Could I fill it with revell contacta clear tinted yellow? Any other thoughts? Matt.

AngstROM Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) The problem with resin PAVE TACKs is, ironically, the lack of depth -there isn't much leeway to do anything where the lens is. I would suggest a piece of holographic confetti cut to shape with the back (non-shiny side) painted in Alclad II Pale Burnt Metal or similar, but even that may be a bit thick. I have the same photo, and the lens appears flush or possibly even slightly recessed. Then you have the 'Mickey Mouse Ears' to represent... Further investigation will continue! Is that the Flightpath set, BTW? Edited July 20, 2014 by AngstROM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejboyd5 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 In the stores take a close look at adhesive backed product labels - I'm sure you will find something that will allow you to trim a portion of an appropriate color to make your lens cover. It's anyone's guess as to what sort of product you might have to buy to secure the label, but that will be part of the fun of your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
