[Chapter] Finishing the Tools

Date:

Finishing the Tools

This chapter shows how the tools were finished. Prior to any painting the tools had all attachment points shaved off since these were supplied in the Eduard set. Step A (sorry about the out of focus shot) shows how all the metal parts were painted Tamiya flat black. Step B is where all the metal parts are painted Alclad steel. In step C metal parts are coated with Windsor/Newton burnt sienna watercolor and Bragdon medium rust. Step D shows how the wooden handles are painted Tamiya dark yellow and wear areas on metal parts have been rubbed with a No. 2 pencil. Final step E shows how the wooden parts have been streaked with Windsor/Newton raw umber oil paints mixed with Liquin and turpintine to create a woodgrain effect. This has to be dullcoated when dry and I used PollyScale flat.
