LSP_Kevin Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That's really terrific, Bob! It reminds me of all the Wildcats I have in my stash to build. May I publish yours on the website? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Great looking cat, how did you manage this specific paintjob, the weathering looks different from what i've seen in general, i like it very much. (or is it the picture exposure type?) Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I publish yours on the website? Kev Yes you can post it to the site. Thanks to everyone for their kind words, this build was a great illustration of "Murphys Law", where whatever could go wrong, did! I almost chucked it against the wall a few times, but eventually got a decent build out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or is it the picture exposure type?) Jack. Lotsa weathering techniques present on this one; some tried and true, some experimental! Panel lines were preshaded with darker base colors, base colors were airbrushed on, post-shading with base color lightened with 20% white via selective dry brushing (a new technique for me that worked quite nicely!), MiG Dark Wash applied, and finally some pastels brushed atop and blended in, and lastly, a final clear coat of Testors Dullcote to blend and unify.
