Losing grip – Painting the road
Happy right now people! It’s glad days for us RC-hobbyists, the quantity of kits and RTRs obtainable is staggering. I’m wondering if anybody is ready to preserve observe of all of them these days? So many manufacturers, so many alternative scales. It’s definitively past me.
In my little nook of the RC-universe issues are slowly progressing. I work on the one construct construct, I lazily consider the following one, and know that I would like to provide my Axial Yeti a correct overhaul subsequent time I see it.
For my Vanquish I’m planning two our bodies. One fast paint job simply to get it going, after which a second physique that I’ll put some actual work into. But I’m not dashing it an excessive amount of, nonetheless need to have a go at (but) one other methodology of doing panel traces. This time masking tape on the within, and a brush.
Before I began with the black paint, I went over all of the traces with Createx Intercept clear – mainly a varnish – to seal the tape and forestall the black from bleeding in beneath it. Worked okay, nonetheless received some minor bleeding in just a few spots. If you look rigorously on the image on the high, you’ll see it. No massive deal I feel, ought to it itch my eyes once I take away the tape, I’ll simply scratch off the surplus with a scalpel.
I’ve carried out three skinny coats to this point, assume I’ll want half a dozen. I’m utilizing my pre thinned paint that usually goes into my airbrush, so it’s really a bit to skinny for brush work. No massive deal actually, higher a bit too skinny than having it on the thick facet. Wet palette and dropper bottles, that’s my most popular means of going about brush portray.
Keeping issues easy, I’ll do a metallic blue and orange job of it, matching the Vanquish wheels that I’ve gotten. A primary complementary shade scheme, ought to be fairly placing I feel. For a fast temporary on shade matching and such, take a look at this column.
Next physique, I’ll attempt doing the panel traces on the skin, utilizing some form of technical marker. There’s at all times one thing new to study!
