Caerbannog Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Really amazing pictures. So hard to spot that this is not a real car. In fact the writing on the corrugated steel backdrop made me suspicious as the letters are not deformed :-) Awesome car build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Superb build and photography Did you have to work on the shine after spraying it? I'd love to know how you accomplished it, as I have somehow acquired a few car kits recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Colin, "In the Navy" and "Kit I Built as a Kid" are possibles for vehicles, as I've been trying to not go down the airplane model rabbit hole. 1 hour ago, Mike said: Did you have to work on the shine after spraying it? Thanks Mike. After returning to the hobby after a long pause, I've been steadily getting to a paint process that works for me and I've pretty much switched to all lacquer. I've been using the Mr Surfacer 1500 to prime, and then a lacquer colour coat followed by Mr. Hobby GX100 Super Clear thinned with the Mr Hobby Levelling Thinner. I thin the GX100 to between 3:1 and 4:1 parts thinner to clear, start with some mist coats to set any decals on the model and then apply 2 wet coats. After that has dried, I've been wet sanding with 6000 grit, then 8000 grit and then polishing with Tamiya polishes and Meguiars x2.0 Scratch Remover. It's a bit of work, but I like the scale thickness that the lacquer has. I've been seeing a lot of car modellers using the 2K clears and if I had easy access to them, I would certainly try them, but some of the results I've seen look too thick to me - a bit too show car for the street and race cars I've been building. Hope that helps and good luck with the cars! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
