Uncarina Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Sean, Magnificent work! I love the stressed skin effect, among the many other wonderful features of your build. It was genuine pleasure to follow. Cheers, Tom Madmax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lud, lots of polishing is the key! Three coats of well thinned Tamiya acrylic paint, buffed with 6000 micromesh, then two layers of X-22/leveling thinner which is buffed with 6000 and 8000. The trick is not to take the paint off the high spots while polishing, which I didn't always get right . Look carefully at the photographs. Thanks Wolf! The Canadian connection continues...

BlackCanopy Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Whoa! More models should be finished like that, the combination of selectively applied 'stressed skin' and this semi-gloss surface strikes me as much more convincing than the usual flat coates ... Thank you for sharing this! Edited July 29, 2020 by BlackCanopy aesthetic rhyth coogrfan and Madmax 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
