Peterpools Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Oliver Good decision and unless you pointed it out, no one would ever know. I'm sure the weathering will bring all the colors back perfectly. 2
Peterpools Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Oliver Awesome work, just awesome. The wash looks fantastic. 3
shark64 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Posted February 17, 2023 Weathering is about done. The engine won't be sticking out this much. Still need to apply a super diluted black tone and make everything flat. I will loose some of the chipping effects in the process. 13 3
Peterpools Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Oliver I'm right with martin - spectacular work. 2
shark64 Posted February 18, 2023 Author Posted February 18, 2023 if only someone would make a jeep and trailer (and a matress) in 1/32 scale, Id have my dio. 6
Peterpools Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Oliver - that would be perfect now, finding those kits in 32nd scale. 1
shark64 Posted February 19, 2023 Author Posted February 19, 2023 Going back to work Monday so pushing to finish the first part of the engine wiring work. 11 3
PanzerWomble Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 I'll be dipped ....I'm kinda lost for words at that ! I'm seeing it but I can't believe it . 5
Peterpools Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Oliver There have been parts of your build I couldn't find the words to describe your work and this is another one - simply brilliant execution and the bar has been raised to a new level. 2
shark64 Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 Exhaust painted . I was hoping to add the engine at the end of the build but it's not possible. I need to add few brass rods to support the engine. This is dry fitted. StilL need to add all the wiring. I may need to paint the orange paint around the edges to minize the masking. it looks crooked in the photo( engine) 7 3
HubertB Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Very nice effect on the exhaust painting 👍 ! Hubert 3
Peterpools Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Oliver WOW the exhaust look so well worn and used and the engine is a work of art. 🏆

shark64 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 2 hours ago, harv said: Yes please....harv Primed in light grey first then a light coat of flat brown,spray flat white on top of exhaust only to duplicate light accent. ( this will help lighten the brown a bit for your second coat) Nato black in recess area only, second coat of flat brown then first coat of Red brown....let that dry several hours and add flat white to your Red brown to do more light accent on top then mix Clear Orange and orange and spray close to the exhausts end to simulate some variation of heat in the exhausts. Let that dry overnight then dry brush with flat brown mixed white (oil paint). I will spray one coat only of nato black ( highly diluted 90/10)all over the piece then spray thin coats of flat finish. I hope this helps oliver 2 3
