Impressive finish

Cooo, that's BRIGHT! But looks great. 

What foil do you use to cover the scripts and badges etc. please? And how far around the scripts do overlay the foil?

[zenrat]

Thanks folks.  Thats Zero Paints clear over a Zero Paints colour called "Bright Red (similar to TS49)".

I use Bare Metal Foil and I trim it back as close to the edge of the scripts as I can.

the red.

I use Bare Metal Foil and I trim it back as close to the edge of the scripts as I can.

Having now got a full sheet of it, and used less than 2 sq. ins on the Caterham, I'll try that on my daughter's Mustang. Thank you kindly.

I put the foil on the scripts between the primer (or undercoat if I use one - depends on the colour) and the colour coat.
If I put on a clear coat then I polish the paint off the foil and clear over the top.
Polish gently with a cotton bud.  Don't press too hard or you risk pulling the foil off.
I favour metal polish for removing the paint - a paste one rather than a liquid.

F-15 is now cleared and i've been painting the fiddly bits.  I need to find where I put some RAAF low viz kangaroos I printed off a while ago.

On the Royce Armoured Car i'm getting all the smaller body parts ready for paint (mudguards, running boards etc).

Cessna floats are painted and are waiting for decals.

ziking Ragnar is sitting in its box looking at me everytime I sit down in the shed.  I've got to mask the windows and canopy and then attach and PSR the wings.  Some dust has managed to find it's way inside one of the windows which is bugging me but there is nothing I can do about it.  Unless...
...it has crossed my mind to try submerging it and filling it with water to try and wash the dust out.  However, i've been using PPP so that may end in disaster.
maybe i'll just ignore it and then chose my photos carefully.

I've made a note of your 'scripting' technique, thanks.

[Actually I cut and pasted the whole paragraph into Notepad.  ]

Glad to be of help.

I will happily share in the plaudits of your successes and deny any responsibility for your failures.

Why doesn't this surprise me?

So, White Tailed Eagle.
It's ready for the stickers and painting of the legs, wheels, exhausts and canopy.  And i need to finish painting the pilot.

Hell yeah!  Now I want to watch that video they used to play at night when the public TV station would go off the air. . .. 


Oh look, I found it:

No modelling since last week because...

...we are out and about.
Van is hired.  It's a test to see if we kill each other living in such a small space.  So far so good.  Been to Bluesfest at Byron Bay and currently somewhere in NSW.

Have fun O' Road Warrior.
