Nice work Pete and it looks like you have your work cut out for you with all the paint experiments. Can't wait to see the results and how she looks with a coat on her......

Hi Allen thank you for looking in, a bit of work but wish I'd done this a long time ago, you can see what the real colour actually is going to be. I thought it was about time I at least tried to improve my painting ability, this might work it might not, it's only an experimental piece now and something to do when waiting, the build I'm building is the Titanic.

Good idea to paint those color-charts Pete, will help a lot when choosing the color you're after :thumb2:
Pete,
Nice idea with the paint card.

Cheers Steve been toying with it for a while, better late than never, then all I've got to do is to learn to paint.

Hi thought I give these one more go as I had a second set which need a lot less work, shame I don't pick up this set first.

Hi I chose these as the four different shades of grey as the base colours so out with the hairy stick and splash some paint on.
991-Wheels.
836-Inner Lower Hull.
900- Vertical/ Sides.
992- Top Surfaces/Horizontal.
It's only the first go trying this and I'm very happy with it once the weathering on most will probably be lost.
I'm going to try and lighten some of the top surfaces ie center of the hatches/ panels with a lighter shade next.
Thank you for looking in hope you like it looks better in real life.

Cheers Steve just having a play with colour's to see if it makes any difference really.

Hi Paul just hope you can see the difference between the variations I don't want there to be a vast difference just subtle one, the panel fading I'm going to try doing it with a sponge a bit like a very big chipping effect, center to the outer.
Pete.
Lovely painting Pete.

Thank you Pete, well it could only go in one direction.

Had a go at making the centre of the casement panels lighter IE a bit of light wear.
Thank you for taking a look.

Hi final bit of experimenting on this test vehicle add a lighter shade of grey to the sides and inner lower hull and started very light rust worn effect.Might add some darker chipping marks just to see what they look like then I will prime the whole lot again and I have another go.
Thank you for looking in, now back to building HMS Titanic.

Hi Pete
You are certainly a master of the hairy stick. Just shows that great results are possible without an airbrush.
