Fantastic! I had no idea Woody. This is what legends are made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Hey All- This photo is the result of three weeks of thought, experimentation, trial and error, and dumb luck. The current block of Killer Eggs have received new, dark tinted overhead sections of the windscreen. Replicating it proved to be a bit of a challenge. I tried tinted Future, Tamiya X-19 Smoke through the airbrush (with several different thinners), ink, resin tint, and super thinned enamels. what finally worked you ask? Tamiya smoke from the rattle can, warmed up in a coffee mug filled with hot water. I misted it on the inside only with light, rapid passes over the course of about 45 minutes. Now that this is done, I can fit the windscreen and get on with it- cheers Pete Edited October 30, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann Juggernut, J.J., dodgem37 and 21 others 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great question! I never got the thinner/paint ratio right when airbrushing it. Either it mottled or ran all over…couldn’t figure it out. Air pressure? Tried ‘em all. The rattle can was a hail Mary that worked. Warming the can was the money play I think. cheers Pete Derek B, Buster99 and John1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
