Hi Everyone
Terrific feedback on this build guys. I am very humbled
Tim - The paint is finally on and looking good so far
Scottie - Cheers mate
Jim - It certainly pushed me to the limit on this one. By the end I just wanted to get on and paint her. However I did enjoy and learn a lot during the build
Si - Managed to do some painting during the half time intervals
Peter - Nearly as beautiful as you dear
Allen - Luv you too beautiful
JR - Not knitting mate. Just gluing my fingers together like you
Before I get under way with the wet stuff I need to address the issue of Bathrobe Gate. Not being a dressing gown man myself I was disappointed to hear that certain members of the fraternity would imagine me in a bathrobe let alone a pink one. If anything I would be more of a Kimono guy. Any way I will just stick to my sack cloth and ashes
.
The pink cloth was in fact a flannel used to protect detailing on the other side of the piece I was working on
Sorry to disappoint. Maybe the pink bathrobe was a better alternative
So before the primer went on the dials on the dash had blue mask applied to prevent paint going on them
Then the airbrushed base coats were added (All Vallejo acrylics). Dark Brown on the underside of the flatbed and light brown on top. The cab, wheels, boxes and wheel arches were done in Buff. The Flak unit was coloured in Tan Yellow. The chassis was done in Panzer grey.
Next will be the brushed on base coats along with highlights and lowlights
Thanks for watching and now its back to the golf. Come on Justin Rose!!
