[sprayman]

Your support and kind words are always appreciated, and I cant thank you guys enough....

@Andy, many thanks Andy, for the support.

@Ian, Thanks mate,lol... must admit I do like to beat the poor little sods up a bit

@Patrick, Thanks for the kind words, must agree with you, I doubt they would let them get in that condition, think I apply a touch of "over"artistic licence....lol

@Mobear, Thanks for the kind comments, and your right I do spend a lot of time looking at rust and the old and weathered under belly of the old cars.....now if only someone would bring a Tiger in for a respray....lol

@Robert...lol...cheers mate and thanks for the kind words.

@Trey, many thanks for the support and kind words mate.

Thanks again guys, this is why the support you get from this forum, makes it the best around.

[mobear]

Ian it will look rusty and chipped after sprayman has finished with it lol

 

[Ian M]

I know and how cool would that be!!! If I ever had the money I would have me a Samba bus or an old (pre 60's) bubble and give him free reigns. One beaten up and rusted car, all nice and new....

Ray if you are reading this, dont panic, I live far to far away! lol.

Ray, I don't think I've seen one of your builds before....this is great! The weathering effects are so convincing it's hard to make my brain register it's in fact - painted plastic! Loving it so far.

P.S. the in foil seat trick is excellent!

 

[sprayman]

Your all to kind, and thanks everyone for the very kind words indeed.

Well if you ever get that old Samba bus Ian M...let me know, never done a paint job on one....but the fun you could have with that old VW...now they could be plenty of room for artistic licence...lol.

Going to make a start on the tracks later, now this will be slow as they are individual links, but there are 2 parts per link....will get some pics up later of them...

Thanks again to all who have commented...cheers guys.

I just found this, Sprayman fit work. Do you coat with future before you weather?

 

[sprayman]

I use an auto urethane matt finish before I put muck wash on, but I did for many years use Klear or Future to coat before a wash.

 

[sprayman]

Just a little update on this old tub, the body washes have now dried fully, and its had a mat coat fired on it to blend it all down.

In between time, I'm working on the gun for this kit.

Thanks for reading,

Ray

You've pretty much cracked this one Ray! The washes have done their job & everything looks nicely tied in & natural.

A quality piece of work with plenty of excellent details to savour.

[sprayman]

Thank you very much Patrick, appreciate your kind words.

 

[mobear]

mobear

 

[sprayman]

Thanks so much Ole, appreciate the support.....should have a bit more character when the gun is complete.

 

[Ian M]

That is just amazing Ray.

Can I ask if you will be joining in the next SIG group build. Its right up your street.

A crashed, or abandoned build. Any subject matter, its just got to be bent, burned, rusted up or shot to sh...........ugar. I would just love to see what you could get out of the subject.
