What method did you use to do the paint work?  It looks really good.

Thanks

each individual recieves the following treatment

1 Wood Grain put in with a wire brush
2 The piece is then run through a piece of sand paper to get rid of any fuzzy bits
3 I scrape on a random amount of differnt artists pastels
4 the pastels are rubbed in with rubbing alcohol and an old brush
5 once dry i wet the piece of wood with turpentine and wait for it to start drying
6 I apply a random coat of acrylic paint and give it a few minutes to to dry
7 masking tape is the stuck onto the board and then lifted. This removes the paint in a random fashion showing the aged wood below.

The description above makes the process seem a lot longer than it actually takes. The results are very convincing.

If you get a chance check the link below of Chuck Doans. He taught me the method explained above.

Hi guys

Still plugging along with this. The main structure is pretty much complete. Detailing and final weathering to be done.







Also started on the weathering and painting of the hundreds of details for this kit.





Let me know your thoughts.

Wes
