Madhatter Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I know this is one of the most over used terms in any modelling forum, but if I didn't know this was a model, I would swear it was real Great color choice too Do you use a wax or something to get your paint work that glossy and smooth? Fantastic job all round MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi, @Tung Nguyen.. the wheels were first sprayed with Humbrol Metalcote Steel, which goes on dull dark grey but quickly polishes up to a great shiny metal finish, then they were given a coat of Tamiya Smoke. best, M. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The usual gorgeous, deep gloss finish from you Matt. Humbrol Metalcote Steel - amazing stuff. Do you print your number plates as full coloured decals or print the letters on clear and put them onto painted 'plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
