LSP_Kevin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yes, that's me. Thanks brother! Cool. Nice to have you aboard Brian. I have your Osprey book on the Zero, and it's a constant source of inspiration to me. I'll be trying out some of your weathering techniques on my own Zero build when the time comes.

Michel borderline Beekveld Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Sorry, i'm a little late with my response. I've just finished picking up my teeth. Just unbelievable paintwork. Could you give us a step by step discription of how you got the exhaust done like that? If you don't want to give away your tricks of the trade, then no harm done. I'll just keep finishing my exhausts as if they were 1/32 injected styrene representations of real exhaust with a dab of black paint splurged all over them.

Regards MBB Hi Michel - You're going to be disappointed when you find out how easy it was...not much of a technique really. First, spray the exhaust with Model Master Buffable Exhaust. I think I may have even mixed in a smidge of Buffable Burnt Iron as well. Let it dry for about 5 minutes...it doesn't need any more time than that...then buff it with a Q-tip until it's smooth. Next...very important here...spray it with a thinned (60 thinner to 40 pigment) coat of clear flat...I use Testors again for that. Now let it dry for about an hour...maybe less. The flat coat gives the rusty pigment something to "bite" into. So...here's the big secret ...get yourself some Rustall pigments. Probably can find them on line through squadron or greatmodels. It's basically 4 numbered bottles. One is a watery black wash...I never use it. Two of the bottles contain a fine powder or grit...never use them either! The only bottle I use is #4...a rust tinted, alcohol based solution. I slather that all over the exhausts and let them airdry. That alcohol dries fast...leaving that oxidized look. One more coat of Clear flat and I'm done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Zeroes in your book have been a source of inspiration to my weathering techniques. My hat is off to you Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
