ChuckT Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I was wondering (when you have time) if you wouldn't mind sharing a bit on your detail wash technique? It looks like the wash is confined to the base of the raised details. Are you using the detailer washes (with a bit of soap added) then scrubbing the excess off? If so, how much soap do you add, how long do you let the wash sit before you scrubb off the excess and is the wash applied over a gloss surface? Also, any other pointers on your wash technique? Thanks as always for sharing Wolf, Chuck.

Cpig Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I'm more amazed every time I look at your work Wolf. Just incredible! Please keep them coming. Joe

Wolf Buddee Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 I'm away for the Easter long weekend so I'm not close to any of my stuff but when I get back home I'll try and take some pics of what I'm using and how I apply/remove my washes. Believe me, it's real simple. It has to be otherwise I wouldn't be doing it, LOL!!!! Cheers, Wolf
ChuckT Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Looking forward to it Wolfe! You won't believe it, but its finally sunny out here in the lower mainland! Took the family for a drive (east of Fort Langley) and the cars outside temperature display got up to 18! (that in C for those wondering). Enjoy your time with the family and have a safe trip back, Chuck.
Budman Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 It will be great to see how and with what you work your wash magic!! Have a goodtime and travel safely Bud

Old Dog Flying Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 One thing is for certain...I won't be entering my Big Mustang against this jewel next fall at the Vancouver IPMS show. Great work Wolf
williamj Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) One thing is for certain...I won't be entering my Big Mustang against this jewel next fall at the Vancouver IPMS show. Great work Wolf I say, ifin he shows up..you and me..we bag him and a quick toss in the Fraser. Edited April 10, 2012 by williamj
Wolf Buddee Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Ha, thanks for the warning, now I'm going to have to bring a U-Boot model too. That'll save me. Let's hope I can get it finished by then, LOL!!!!! Cheers, Wolf
ChuckT Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 I was fortunate enough to see Wolfs big spit in person tonight and all I can say is WOW! When you see the pics online you just don't realize how small it all is. Once that sinks in you then realize how much smaller the details he has added are! The pics on this thread do not do it justice. Very, veryimpressive! Thanks again Wolf for coming out to the IPMS meeting (and good to finally meet you). I hope to see you there again at future meetings. Have a great week, Chuck.
xmh53wrench Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 THIS IS AMAZING!!!.....the idea that my Spitfire build thread is occupying the same cyberspace as this is just wrong.....I am soooo not worthy
