Chapter 4 - Transmission, Clutch, Steering Unit
The upper set of pictures shows the grey resin transmission and deck plate without paint. The lower pictures show a first treatment of colours. I found this resin to be problematic in that the paint had a tendancy to chip off or come off easily thus ruining the paint job. The usual soap and warm water did not improve the adhesion of the paint - so I ended up using Surfacer 1000 airbrushed onto the resin, which seems to have cured this problem.The colours of these parts would change slightly with progress of weathering and construction but would remain pretty much as is. The metal plates I have choosen to paint red oxcide primer colour. The gear cylinders for the tramsmission I painter a green colour and the transmission body I painted black. A tool box on the decking is made to look like a metal box. How they cast the one piece deck and transmission is perplexing to me as there is a connecting rod on the top of the clutch steering cylinders that would be hard to accomadate with the usual two piece mold- I guess maybe it was a three parter?
The reason that the surface in the painted arts seems glossy is because I have given the parts a airbrushing of Future before the oils wash step in the weather process. I use Artists' quality oil paint from the tube thinned with paint thinner. I leave this to set up over night and then wipe it back in the morning with a piece cotton material which has a very miniscule amount of thinner on it. Like I put a drop on one area of the rag and then touch that area with another part of the rag to pick some thinner up and then ust that part to wipe back the wash from the high points. |
