Shaka HI Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks Max/Mark. I'll just a do little more, really....I just noticed that gunsight is this BIG blob of plastic. I'm not sure what/why I thought that would suffice. Maybe I forgot to paint it? I did glue it using white glue, so I might be able to dislodge it...oh boy.

BloorwestSiR Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Shaka, I think your paint and weathering look great. Go for the finish and don't leave this as just a test bed. It's definitely worth completing. Carl Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Shaka Enjoyed reading through all 12 pages of your progress and from my end, the weathering is spot on and looks terrific. As Max said, sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. I've been using Dullcote for what seems like forever and the newer bottles definitely seem to be not as flat as the older ones and require a few more additional light coats. I always thin the Dullcote 50/50 with lacquer thinner and apply light coats at about 12 psi working pressure. Looking might good Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks guys..I'll finish it up. Peter, sorry you had go through all that..I'm a bit verbose, sometimes... (Never thought about thinning Dullcote, but I'll give that try. I do want to go a little flatter and I'm hoping I can mist it ever so slightly and thinning it will aid this.)

Guest Peterpools Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Shaka Dullcote is way too thick for the pressures I shoot at and I find thinning and numerous light coats allow you to decided on how flat your want the final finish to be. Enjoyed every page of the build. Peter Edited August 8, 2016 by Peterpools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Looking forward to seeing it finished! HÃ¥kan Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Cool...I've done all the chipping/staining I wanna do at this point...I guess I'll get to the mundane part of finishing this thing. Ordered some EZ line for this as well...and just received some cheap 50mm Prime lens for my Cannon. You know what? It takes some pretty decent pictures!

Guest Peterpools Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Shaka Looking mighty good and it's always a good feeling to cross the finish line Nothing wrong with a 50mm prime ... one of my favorite lenses. Photography is one of my passions and all my lenses except one are primes. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
