Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Here's my version of the Monogram Dodge Viper RT/10. The color is a mixture of about 80% Createx Pearl Lime and 20% Createx Pearl Green. For the stripes I mixed about 75% Folkart Pure Black with 25% Decoart Extreme Sheen Obsidian. Createx 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear was then sprayed on and later wet-sanded, polished, and waxed for the shine. I painted the interior in Apple Barrel Country Gray for the lighter parts, and the darker gray is Apple Barrel Dark Granite. I stripped the wheels and painted them in Createx Opaque Black, and cleared with the 4050 clear. While it is a pretty basic kit, and pretty much a Snap-Together, it was also a lot of fun. The details are pretty decent and the fit is pretty good as well. Newer cars like this don't seem to be very popular to build, but they can be very fun and are great to try different things with. As always, thanks for looking! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 The color is really eye catching and the paint finishes are all very smooth. Like the clean detailing of the interior and engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mix well within their own category. Opaque's mix with opaque's and pearls, pearls with pearls, and such. Not sure I would mix a Wicked color with an Illustration or Airbrush color, but then again that is what testing and experimenting is all about, eh🤔😁. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
