mark31 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 because i wasnt happy with the wood color to dark i have didt a second try with a lighter base coat Learn from the first atempt i ended with this result Its just a trial because the wood in the pics are still lighter than this but i can live with it.

Joel_W Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Mark, The big Merlins are looking better and better. It's really hard to believe that there are still some 40 more parts to go before each one is complete. Joel mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark31 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 ok here we goon how i have done the wood First i have painted the part with tamiya XF57 buff and put a clear coat over it before whe start What whe need oil paint burn umber kitchen paper spong and somthing to put the paint on. Now whe put some paint on the spong whe put it on the part that whe whant to paint fully covering the part now whe clean the sponge on the paper and go back over the part untill whe get the effect whe whant. iff you are not happy with the result you can whip it off with the paper and start over again. rememberoil paints dry slowly so about 24 hours the are dry i hope you have sommthing on this Mark Girlscanplay2, Shaka HI, Gazzas and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
