It's DecaI Tag! Get some stripes and cigarette logo's on this Bitc...

Everyone knows real race cars were sponsored by tobacco companies.

Well, my try at carbon decalling got carried away on the BMW. I decalled the frame, then used some Alclad on the engine and swingarm and ended up with all sorts of subassemblies. 

Which has led to the frame being almost done.

Looking very sharp there Carl !

That looks super cool Carl. I always found, when I cover the cf-decals with clear semi matte, they even look more realistic. The gloss looks great immediately, but matting down lifts it to another level and unifies the single decals better.

Thanks PW! I'm going to actually try and finish this before I get ahem, sidetracked/distracted by something new.

Thanks Rob! I thought about a semi-gloss clear for the carbon as well but decided to go with the gloss as it's exposed and the bodywork will be gloss paint as well.

Trying out a paint experiment. After checking out my son's recent Gundam build where he used Gundam markers for panel lining, I decided to see if makers could be used for pre-shading. So I grabbed an SBY kit out of the stash. I removed the parts from the trees and then went over the panel lines with an AK paint marker. 

Then when the marker had dried, I sprayed the colour coat which was Mr Color Gundam White. It's a bit washed out in the pics but the contrast is there. 

I thinned the paint a bit too much so the paint went one really thin. Might need a bit more coverage in a couple spots but I would say it worked.
