Hi. I am conscious that "quite quicly now" in my case seems to be longer than for rest of mortals.
Ahem, my apollogies.
No time for updates, then no time to post updates.
But well, at last we have some stuff to show.
Well, some replicas in resin of my masters, then some repairs (ocasional bubbles) and then some chosen ones to prime and paint.
I tried Zero for first time. Nice, but don't suit my needs at this scale. I find the need of clear coating before decals a bit annoying.
So I went againt back to trusty Tamiya Acrylics with lacquer thinner.
For the record,I used again the old spraywork Tamiya airbrush, the plastic one!!
Unfortunately, I did not take care of taking pics of the masked stuff.
Masking is a nightmare. Then you may do the white with ust decals, OK. But on this car, either you have sculpted radiator outlets on the sidpods or the nose. So unless it's a flat thing, no decals please. And not quite sure of combinig the two options.
That said, I went for decal for the windshield.
Pics come along
The masking went not that bad!
Meanwhile, some PC work for decals...
Yes, putting all those pinstripes on is tricky. But you learn with experience. The second one went easier.
I like the result. At last the car looks as in the real pic. Can't wait to see it fully finished...
Thanks for looking!
