Chapter 7 - Tamiya Tools
This picture shows the Tamiya tools and tow cable. The kit only gives you the cable ends. I used Emporium .018 rusty cable for the tow cable shown in this picture. Though the cable is listed as 'rusty' it is actually a shiney red color and a very stiff stainless steel. I annealed the cable to bend it easier. I paint all exposed metal (such as tracks, tools and tow cable) in a multi-stepped process. First the metal areas are painted with Alclad steel. Next 2 coats of Rustall are added then finally a coat of Windsor/Newtom burnt sienna watercolor mxied with Oxgall liquid and pastel dust. Tracks are drybrushed in wear areas with PollyScale graphite. A No.2 pencil is used to go over high areas and wear areas on the tools and cable and on the drybrushed areas of the tracks. I think it looks rusty, used and the tracks don't look 'silver' and out of scale color to me. You may also notice some chips taken out of the rubber road wheels in this picture. This was done with a rasp prior to painting. |
