Chapter 10 - Trying to Gloss Over it All...
The top picture shows the parts dry fitted for the application of the Future protective gloss coat that also aids in the application of decals. The gloss coat prevents silvering that can happen when applying decals to a flat or matte finish paint surface. The colour has gone dark but this will change with the application of a matte clear coat after decal and oil wash, as can be seen in the lower picture. I seem to, from the look of the picture, have not done a wash here yet - sometimes I do that. I'll re-coat with Future again and use a wash of oils and paint thinner to bring out some detail. If I remember correctly I wanted to do some severe dusting and dirt layers before the washes tough...
The angle iron attachment on the front bumper was meant to protect the driver from wire strung across roads. This is from the kit and I have installed it. However it is not accurate in shape, being a solid triangle in section, and I will later replace it in a subsequent chapter with a piece of scale model metal angle iron. |
