Monty Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm not sure where to start with the compliments. Several aspects of this build got my attention right away, like the paint, the tight grain on the vinyl roof, the scratchbuilding (especially the grille) & the interior detailing, but the clarity & staging of the photography really helped make this a great post. May I ask what paints/techniques you used on the exhaust manifolds? PS - welcome to our board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v264 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thank you. The exhaust manifolds were painted with ModelMaster 1402 (steel). Next I used light & dark brown pigments with fixer like this: http://migproductionswebshop.com/popup_image.php?pID=70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
