Paul , Peter and Mick .
Thanks for comenting, having looked at it again tonight, think I'm going to clean it off and start again.
Not really happy with the overall blending on the bonnet ot one side either.
You know that feeling that niggles when you can't put a finger on the exact spot but know it's not what you wanted .
So first thing big wash !
Hopefully more later

Hi Si , thanks mate, think this time it a lot better .See what you think please.

Thanks Peter, perfectly right .

Gave the model a wash in oil medium ( thinners) from Daley Rowney followed by a bit of a scrub!
Once dried with the hair dryer, another coat of flat varnish. I was going to do some chipping after the paints, but after doing the first coat of black and some rust colours I decided to leave the chipping out .quite pleased with the result, there are no additional oils , just some pigment.







I'd like some comment of what you think, someone else will see this in a completely different light .

Thanks
John .

Sorry missed you there Rick.
You'll like the next set of photosmore work later on those tyres yes the matches are out




The white is of course wet glue, once this is dried I shall spray more black on the ground, some grey ash would be good as well .
Tyres after lunch

In my element

Right back with another up date .Rick stand by
Yes the matches have been our, along with my old Victorian Candlestick Holder, c/w a candle .
I needed reduce the tread pattern on those tyres, on you can scratch them off, but needed that burnt out look
No need for any meths, the rubber soon catches,and you can control the flame by turning the tyres once it's caught fire.






As soon as I had done the deed on to the dio they went whilst still pliable.
Then came the burnt areas around the car, so loaded with black and also a grey black sprayed the ground and the trees .After that a few minutes applied a few pinches of grey pigment
.
All to do now is to get those faces finished.
Comments please ,good , bad indifferent.
Thanks for following
John .
