Hey John, is it 1:1 Scale?! :blink:

That's Mind Blowing! Your attention to small details is perfect, and your Alclad work is excellent. Also those different shades of metals, are very good looking, just like they are in 1:1 car. Those small things make the model look much better, and your engine really looks fantastic.

I tried to replicate Kurt`s brass plated headlight bezels and radiator........so I first painted them Alclad chrome then I painted over them with Alclad candy golden yellow........I got close to the brass finish?.........thanks for looking.

How is the durability of the Alclad for handling? I ask because I'm about to send some steel parts for chrome plating.

The gas tank,especially, and the parts 'Alcladed' you did look good.

David.........if you mist on enough coats of Alclad.........it is pretty durable.........but,you need to handle the Alclad parts with tissue........the oil in you fingers will attach to the Alclad parts.........thanks

very impressive as usual John!! absolutly beautiful work my friend, is that the brass alclad you are using? looks fantastic!!

Bill.........I used Alclad candy lemon yellow.........over chrome Alclad to get a somewhat bras looking finish.......thanks.

You do fantastic work with Alclad. Your chromed parts are always very smooth and clean, shine is great and I like the different shades of metals too.

What paint you use under Alclad...? I've heard that there must be black, but does the manufacturer affect to end result? When I buy Alclad in some point, I'd like to use Revell or Humbroll gloss black, since it's much easier to get here in Finland.

And do you spray clear coat over Alclad parts, or polish them? Could not believe that they are that nice straight from the Airbrush.

Oh and did I say - FANTASTIC Work, John! B)

Niko.......I use "Osh" brand flat black.......it`s a cheap brand but,dries fast and goes on smooth........then I clear coat with urethane clear .......then airbrush the alclad.......no clear coat over the alclad.......thanks.
