Brizio Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I just start another kit, open the box and prep some parts. I will open a tread soon. At work I finished a car but cannot post a picture about that, you have to wait when the movie came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicholiday Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Just finished polishing this one. It’s molded in red, and bled through in a couple of areas, but I think I can live with it. Still needs some detail painting, but it’s getting really close now. Uh oh. I better find an excuse to shelve it pretty quick, or I’ll break my streak of not finishing builds.? Here’s a sneak peek mock up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a really fun project! The weather is really turning fast here. So I’m trying to get at least one more paint job done before it’s too cold to shoot outside. I finished the color coats on this one today. I really need about two more weeks of good weather (doubtful) to get decals on and then shoot some clear coat. So it may or may not get cleared yet this year. Time will tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Testors Extreme Lacquer Bronze straight from the can. Sprays a little weird. As I was shooting it, I swear I could see metal flakes bouncing off the body and into the air. But it came out fine. That's the second time I've seen something like that from extreme lacquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it looks really good! and It's not necessary to clear over your decals, unless you just want to..... I don't believe they were cleared over from the factory.

You weren’t seeing things, whenever I use that metallic paint, my booth is covered in flake…. sweet paint job by the way, color really looks good on that body. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ve shot five or six different colors from that line. But the first time I really noticed this was a week or two ago using the inca gold.

atomicholiday Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Did a little detail painting on my Porsche project. Also cleaned up these scripts on my GTX. I am LOVING the foil under paint technique. I wish I had discovered that trick long ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
