This is done with oil paint on an acrylic base on white primer. Please see the built report for pictures, link at the very beginning on top.
Thanks @Bughunter I may have to have some practice at this. Yours looks fantastic

A deserved winner! What a stunning model. What technique do you use for the wood effect?

Great models of a great car. Love seeing these racing at Goodwood. Pictures show up fine for me. The smaller scale one looks just as good as the bigger one

Really stunning. It’s hard to believe that’s 1:32 scale, it’s come together so well (the dog is the icing on the cake!)

As the header states, I'd like to paint my srs II Land Rover kit in Marine Blue colour; however, I only have Vallejo paints, Is there a matching equivalent or very close match?
cheers,
Mike
Hi Mike,
I Land Rover marine blue colour code is 006. If you ask someone like Zero paints, they’ll mix the right colour for you airbrush ready. Links below:
Hope this helps!
cheers,

Very cool. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the mk1 spitfire outside of a car show (loads of newer ones)
it it looks so small in that parking space!

Those seats have come out really well. Nice paint job too

After seeing the troubles you were having the decals in your WIP thread, the end result looks even more impressive. Nice collection of what (I would possibly wrongly) call LMP cars

You can get Tamiya polishing sponges, I have used them and I use micro fibre cloths as well

I had no idea these existed! Are they any good? If they make a horrible squeaking noise I’m out
i quite like glasses cloths, they don’t wear out & never leave any fluff behind

Interior looks great. Not easy at this scale!
as for the roof, is that what happens if you paint over pledge?

I’m also watching with interest as I’m building one of these too. Just very very slowly
interested to to see how you get on. I thought black for the engine seems right, will you be adding ignition leads?

So impressive what can be done with a 3D printer now. The future is now!
was that engine printed as one piece?

Glad you found a colour. If it helps for future reference, I’ve used this website to find the correct colours before;

How long did you leave it in the bleach? And what temperature was it?
The reason I ask is that I've found that bleach is very dependant on temperature - I've had it almost compeltely fail to touch chrome overnight yet strip it compeltely within the hour when I put the same bleach container into a bowl of hot (nto boiling, you don't want to damage the plastic) water.
That’s interesting, I found sunlight does the same thing, could just be because of the gentle heat then

Spotted this a little while ago. I have a suspicion it’s not real, but it really put a smile on my face

Nice paint job. Looks ultra smooth. I’ve never used MRP paints before, would you recommend?
