Looks good!

 

[papa 695]

I've never tried vallejo paints at all interested in using the metal finish, I fancy doing another shelby cobra but with a chrome finish to it!
Be interesting to see how shiny it looks. Looking great so far, I'm going to have to get a sabre myself now!


One other thing, is there any restrictions with getting these paints via mail order, just that royal mail seem a bit strange about what they deliver!

I got mine from John in the SM shop and I'm sure he uses Royal Mail so should be no problems in getting them through the post Dave

Sweet!! Looking very nice there!

Will keep my eye on this one Ian..


John.

 

[papa 695]

Thanks guy's

 

[papa 695]

Well now I have one very shiny Sabre. I'm going to add some different colours to some of the panels just to break it up a little, but that can wait until tomorrow to give the silver time to cure.

I've been looking through this thread and the Sabre is coming along really well.


I can definitely see the difference between the 2 metallic surface's the new colour has a lot more depth to it.


Anyway keep up the good work.

That looks bloody lovely. Are these paints going to give Alclad the elbow ?

Hi Tony the colour is metal colour 77.724 Silver, and yes I've got the metal varnish so I will give it a try later.

Thanks Colin it's not as thin as Alclad but it flows lovely and it doesn't stink like Alclad, it will certainly give it a run for its money

 

[yak face]

I' ll have to get some silver then - i only got chrome, steel , matt aluminium and the primer and varnish. , cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

After seeing the effect you get with these paints I think I will get the full range eventually Tony

Got this painted now, all done with the new Vallejo metal colours, apart from the air brake bays.im really liking this product, even with my poor painting skills I think they look very good. Now I'm going to try the new metal varnish from Vallejo.

That looks amazing, what a finish that is, the variation on the panels looks realistic, breaks up the monotone of a single silver. This is going to look fantastic with the decals on etc.

That does look very very nice Ian!


How did the Vallejo stuff behave with masking?

 

[john i am]

Looking great Ian those new vallejo metal paints look good I might just have to get some myself.


I've used alclad up till now but these look equally impressive and without the smell that's a plus.

No problems at all Patrick, it takes Tamiya and frog tape very well no peeling at all
