Afternoon

Started this way back, could not find the orginal thread! The last of the decal disaster!!

Had a bash at modulation with oils





I must bring to everbodies attention the help, support and encouragment from Steve Jones, what a guy!!! After taking the photos Steve pointed out the hard edges, bugger!! Now sorted.

Without Steves help i would be going round in circles, cheers Steve

Looking good Bob, looks a bit stark in the photos, but it will tone down with weathering. The encouragement & advice from people, such as Steve, on this site makes it a good place to be.

Pleasure mate. Keep up the great work. You will soon be better at it than me

Not a chance Steve, i'd be about 120

Worked on tools and a new method of doing a exhaust, using life colors rust set




What do you chaps think of the exhaust???

Have changed 100's of exhausts, been racking my tiny brain cells as to what they looked like! Left some orginal paint on

 

[Graeme C.]

The variation of the rust tones on the exhaust is good Bob, just needs a bit of blending in & weathering.

Bob,
Just caught up on your build, and it looks great.
You ask about rust colours, I usually paint the rust areas on the exhaust and then blend them in with rust pigments to soften it all up.
