Incredable work Wolf! One of the nicest models I have ever seen. I hope to be able to see it in person sometime.

Bravo sir, bravo.

It may be a well engineered kit but it certainly benefits from the human element of talent.

 

Congratulations Wolf,

Beautiful finish on this baby. The wait was well worth it as the result is pretty spectacular.

Some things just cant be left buried.....

 

 

For the noobs, those living under a rock, and those of us watching football, who want to teeter on inspiration and depression.....

 

 

Still in awe Wolf

Hey Wolf.

 

Will the spit be making an appearance at the Fall Vancouver IPMS show?

Bummer, I missed it.

 

Do you have anything else that will be shown there?

Lovely Spit!  Quite breathtaking.

Just spent a most enjoyable hour going through this thread again and it still blows me away!

 

A couple of quick questions if you don't mind me asking:

-On your instrument panels, did you apply a gloss coat before adding the stencil decals and if so, what did you use and how did you apply it (brush, airbrush..., any pointers)?

 

-If you did gloss the panel, what did you use after the decal application to dull it all down again?

 

Regarding the use of the Detailer washes, you mentioned you add a drop of diswashing detergent and then thin it down with distilled water before applying the wash.

 

-Any idea roughly how much disitilled water you add? 10%, 25%, 50% water?

 

-Do you apply the wash to a gloss or matt surface or does it not matter?

 

-Do you seal the wash with a clear coat after it dries or just leave it be?

 

Thanks, Chuck.
