Guest JamesDE Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Looks really good man... The only thing I would say is that you should ditch the kit rims and get some pegasus 1109 spokes with whitewalls... Other than that it looks really good.

Scalper Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Looks good. I would black wash the grill. the model would really pop after that. I like the green paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalper Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 There is many way of doing the black wash. The way I do it i use flat black paint apply to the grill then with a rag or paper towl wipe off the extra paint. so all the low area will have the black paint.

Scalper Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I try to put as much is needed not on the heavy side. I wipe it as soon as i put it on. but i know some people can wipe it off the chrome after it dries. you can search for tips in the hints and tips section. I hope that helps.

Jim Gibbons Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Nice job! For grilles, etc., I use Citadel black wash. Citadel paints were designed for fantasy figures, but come in a lot of neat colors. The advantage is that they are totally water based acrylics. The black wash is essentially India Ink, which will work as well. The reason I use it is that most model acrylics or enamels are solvent based (isopropyl alcohol, etc.) and can remove the clear finish applied to the chrome parts. That can cause the chrome finish to dull over time. Sometimes I have to apply the wash a couple of times before all the recesses are covered, but one main advantage is that if you don't like the results, you can wash it off in water before it dries completely. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSLRod Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Actually keep the rims & wrap 'em in a set of Pegasus 5.20 whitewall tires, otherwise your sixfoe is a beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
