Hey Guys! A little update for this one. Switching gears with the 2 projects I added for the contest but still running.

1st, the kitchen. I shot some primer yesterday (shown) and a base today (not). Looking forward to moving into the weathering on this in the next couple of days.

2nd, I started the base the other day as well. Shown I have most of the 3 different colorings added, next will come the dusting and washes and some dried vegetation.

Nice work on the kitchen T ,its came out great ,I'd say it looks better than the old Tamiya one ;).
Base is coming along nicely too buddy .

Chris.
 
Thanks Noname!

Thanks Chris, We'll see about that when I'm done :eek: Found some "things" after base coating, a little touch-up and it will be fine. You would think I could stick with one genre! ::) Floaty things, wingy things, rusted armor things, Vehicles and now....kitchens! ;D All at the same time! :p God help me if the part get screwed up, might have to enter something under the everything category! 8)
 
A little update. I figured since I was painting some stuff for one of my entries in the contest I would hit the kitchen a bit. Still a few coats of this and that to go but it's getting there. :p

Thanks for visiting! ;D
 
Love the burnt paint look you are achieving on the surface, Some areas of that thing remind me of my wood stove.

Nice. 8)
 
Thanks guys!

@ ken - LOL, i was looking at some trying to get the feel of the heat treated metal. I have a lot of burnt metal around work from all the testing we do. Hopefully I will end up with something close to what I am seeing! ::)
 
Thats looking very cool T ....very nice work indeed buddy ;)

Back at it....

Quickly jump forward here. I applied a wash to all of them and started painting one of the heads with oils yesterday and tonight.

Still have more to do but I think I am getting there.
I'll keep plugging away in an effort to finish this project at some point this year! ;D

Thanks for hanging out for a bit!! ;)
 
Thanks Guys! Wating to see what the tones look like when the oils flash off. ;D
