Popular Post oodboo Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 First time I've used these so thought I'd show you what I done with them. I started on the outside with 3mm tamiya masking tape for curves. This usually leaves a nice sharp edge. Once I was happy with the position of the lines on the outside I followed these lines with the same tape on the inside. The circles for the doors were cut out from tamiya masking sheet using a proper circle cutter/punch thing which just happened to be the right size. Window and light masks were supplied with the body. 20mm tamiya masking tape was used to mask off for the different colours. I masked off the area I wanted to paint blue. Then got busy with the PS- 43 translucent orange. Removed the masks and accidentally took the side windows with them. After creating new window masks from some tamiya mask sheet and a jpg of the kit mask sheet it was time to lay down some PS-39 translucent light blue. Mask off And back with PS-41 bright silver hoping to get a metallic look to the finished paint. Looks like I missed a photo for the next step which was off with the door circle masks and a few coats of PS-1 white, for the door number and to keep the bright colours shining when the black goes down. Then it was back in the drying cupboard for a few hours. Final colour PS-5 black for the lines and general backing. Off with the last of the masks and protective film and time to have a look at it in the sun. Sweet! The rest is just the kit decals and a few extras from Screenprint Digital. Time to fit the shiney bumpers and bits, whack it on a waiting M08 chassis and get some photos in the sun. I was hoping the blue would be a bit lighter but I like the contrast against the orange so I'm not complaining. A was also worried the decals would look a bit flat, but again, I'm happy with them. Maybe I'll add some more eventually, there's loads left on the sheet. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shergar Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I really like that, I have some translucent red that I have never tried here, I ought to remedy that. M08 is a bit exotic for the KG 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
