I honestly didn't think you needed to do any more to it John, I'd had stopped there.

.....but now, obviously I know nothing,.....it looks so realistic

Amazing!

Outstanding John, will you be bringing this to Telford if its done

 

[adampolo13]

This is looking sweet dude!

 

[Big-John]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Looks great. The pigments on the rear deck...still look like a pile of pigments to me. I'd keep adding some enamel washes to that, soak some up. You'll get a nice grimely, caked on look.

Just trying to be constructive. It's sweet but keep pushing that. It'll be wick. ed.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Cheers guys. Spud I don't think I'm going to make it to Telford mate and Scott thanks man this is what I needed, it was getting late and I just wanted to take some pics and call it a day. I was going to move on to the winch etc but now I'm going to go back in and concentrate on the layers of pigs. That's still one area that I still don't know exactly what I'm doing, it's all trial and error lol.

 

[spud]

aww :-[ well ill be there

for the pigs. you can fix them in place with Tamiya X-20A also using and oil wash but that will take longer

 

[JohnSimmons]

We'll meet up sooner or later spud And yeah I fix them with enamel thinners but I'll try some Tammy thinner as I've noticed the pigments have evaporated in the past lol

 

[spud]

yea i found Tamiya X20A far better than actual thinners for it

 

[Junkie]

All trial and error for me too man. I used different AK FX over the pigs on the Rat Truck...its sets them and also introduces another layer of color.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Ok well I think I'm getting there:



Still need to fade out that definite black line on the left. Thanks for looking
