discussion TAMIYA panther g 1/48. sub 1

[Guest]

Hey guys. Now that the dragon is done I am focusing on the panther.

I am on my first sub, the road wheels. This is my first attempt at a muddy, worn set of roadwheels. I used very little black to accent the mud color. Let me know what you think!

[Guest]

Did you use the hairspray technique for this too ??

The wheels look shiney dirty, is this the plan for the end result ... a wet muddy look? if so.. you're there

if you want to "dull them off" a bit the just blow some loose bi-carb on them ... this works a treat

If i have one critisism ... you can still see the places the wheels were attached to the sprue in the second picture ...

Wow thanks for the tips my friend. Yes I wanted a wet look. I used hairspray. Good catch. As for the spruce thing, I cleaned those up before I went to sleep.

Thanks so much for the kudos and your thoughts. Your the man!

Hey cdw

Yup I used the hairspray! GOOD CALL! Your good! I wanted a wet look. I am glad this effect came out well. Can you tell me what bi carb is?

Lol yea I cleaned the spruce marks up before I went to bed last night! Good eyes!

Thanks for tips once I know what bicarb is I will use it!

[Guest]

Bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate

commonly called ... baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda

If you sprinkle it on wet paint it'll absorb some of the colour and look like dirty dust.

If you sprinckle it on tacky paint it'll just look like dust.

You can add washes and watered down colours after it's dried to give it a solid colour ... i.e if you want to portray rust or corrosion ..or just a muddy look

I've even coloured it grey and black to give a burnt ash look to a crashed spitfire in the Crash SIG on this forum

 

[Guest]

Wow my man I have to try this

 

[Guest]

no problems, just search through my threads and have a look, I don't like hi-jacking threads with my own links, seems wrong there's others on here that use the bicarb technique too, have a browse round.
