robw_uk Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 well day 1 of no work (or between jobs)... quad has been painted. Mr Hobby "Sail" seems a good starting point. Any thoughts on how well it will mix with Vallejo acrylic to lighten? Must say, Mr Hobby sprays really well when mixed with their own thinner - think I may start getting more of their colours... 17634523_10154671996027979_4821162778715737519_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 17554282_10154671996032979_5391339891625001933_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 17458258_10154671996037979_5398998867877476980_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well I'd say your first day between jobs has been very well spent. It certainly looks good under the paint! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 How about masking the front windows in such a way, as to show the wipe area clear, as if the wipers have used, whilst the rest similarly weathered to match the rest of the Quad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 No photo, wash done which has started the streaking process. Next coat of gloss needs to go on next then can do chipping and oil paint work (mostly streaking i think) Of course i still need to do the tyres, storage, front window frames etc.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hi Rob. I think the dusting effect works and I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your other weathering effects. Hope you have a great Easter Weekend. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 cheers Stix..... some streaking (white/tan oil dots) and chipping... also done the tyres today and started painting the stowage (my worst (and thats saying something) skill) 17883844_10154714619887979_4502172337084443822_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 17903529_10154714619922979_7608649801389348089_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 17884231_10154714619952979_4353485211385264238_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 17458004_10154714619992979_8031514162296524025_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 17800152_10154714620042979_2546122074411096630_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 17884390_10154714620087979_8812887197384433797_n by Robert Worth, on Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
