Rayman4449 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Very nice Robert!! Very nice! Paint work is something that I have always felt was not that easy to do right, and your results are excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xl_special Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Holy Cow, to say I'm impressed is a hugh understatement. Did you "eyeball" the stripe location or have a drawing to go from. Your work is just incredible. Please keep us up to date on your projects. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks Larry, there is only one area that I penciled next to where the first tape is and that is the large radius swinging toward the front. Everything else is eyeballed because they line up with the rivet patterns on the body. Once the first tape is laid, all the rest fall into place.

rbrown7713 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thank you very much Bart, I feel it is my duty to show people what some of my procedures are, to help someone, and I realize that there are many ways to do what I do, and my mind is open for suggestions. I am self taught with the respect of making molds, so not all of my procedures are, to some, correct, but I get the job done. Thanks again.

Jerry B44 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 That's nice work. What paint do you use? Using an airbrush? If so how much do you thin it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi Jerry, I used an air brush and the only color that I had to thin was silver, about 25 %. Do not use Badger paints. I bought about 70.00 worth and the paint is useless, might as well have been spraying water. The best is Polly Scale, but I had to hunt for them because I think they are going out of business. You can still find some on Ebay. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
