atomicholiday Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 Progress so far on the exhaust system. I’m using bendable tubing from hobby lobby. Pinning the pipes in place and maybe using a few 3D printed dress up parts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 MAN this thing is looking good Jeremy. That mock up you did on Page 3 looks absolutely killer and your exhaust system has a very realistic look to it. What did you use to paint the exhaust pipes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s quite a bit going on with those pipes. The pipes themselves are brass tubing and the mufflers are aluminum tubing. Brass was painted with Alclaad (I don’t remember what color but probably dark aluminum). The mufflers were left unfinished. Nothing looks more like metal than real metal.👍 The staining is a mix of clear Tamiya acrylic blue, red and orange, all blended together with Tamiya weathering powders. They aren’t perfect by any stretch, but for a first attempt, I’m pretty pleased with the outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
