Graeme,
The indicators ok its the others in the tube

 

[scottie3158]

Following the pre shade it received a coat of Tamyia dark yellow. When dry brown and green stripes were applied. When this had dried hard two coats of hairspray were applied after an hour a coat of VJ off white was sprayed all over. Next using a stiff brush and a toothpick the white was distressed.
This has now been sealed with Klear ready for the washes and pin washes.

Please be brutal I'm not sure it worked.





Damn just noticed the rear decals has moved I will have to try and reposition it.



cheers
Scottie

The hairspray technique is not something I have tried sincecoming back to the hobby, so I can't really comment with any authority but I like it a lot.

Not something I used, tried it once and went back to chipping fluid, but this has worked well. You seem to have the hang of it Paul.

Andrew, I got lucky this time I think some times its more successful than others.

Hi John, as I said to Andrew sometimes are better than others. But I'm to tight to buy special products.

Steve, I try not to spend money on aftermarket products they tend to be expensive and nothing that can't be made at home.

Gerry, It is a simple technique it must be I can do it sometimes.

The weathering continues with the addition of washes and pin washes and a bit of mud using two shades of VJ earth.

[Graeme C.]

That is looking good Paul, the whitewash is very distressed, bordering on traumatized!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looking great Paul. The weathering is getting better and better.....

Seems like that windshield all covered up would make driving difficult?
