Not that it matters, but I don't see what the problem is. Maybe I'm naive, but I would think that any model entered into a contest would be judged on the quality of the build, not the materials used to make it. Fact is everyone that builds 3d models is not at the same level as Bill Cunningham, just as everyone that builds styrene kits is not at the same level as a Steve Guthmiller or a Ron Hamilton. So the thought that any fully 3d printed model, or a model containing 3d parts, will automatically be superior to an all styrene build is unfounded. There is even a difference in the quality of 3d files being created. Some are much better than others, and a poorly made file will give you a bad print, if it prints at all. Just sounds like more of us old guys clinging to the past and fearing the future.

Same here. It doesn't come up on Google. What's website address? -

I tested it on these 3d printed wheels. The pictures don't show the true shine. I used the bottle's brush for all 3. The one on the left has the clear coat or varnish applied. The one on the right has a smudge from where I touched it a couple of hours after it was painted. The clear did dull the shine a bit, but I think it looks OK for a hubcap. I'll try Alclad clear and see what that looks like. So far I'm happy with this stuff. -

That's a beauty!

Hope this doesn't discourage Henri and he moves on to the nextone. I've been there a couple of times where the paint and clear react at a point where it's too late to turn back so I let them ride and maybe address it at a later date (yeah right).

Did you use any clear over the chrome before you applied the wash? -

I agree. I like seeing older cars in good shape, still running. This looks like a work truck that hasn't done much work in it's life. Probably hauling computers and such around the campus. I'm really struck by the way the graffiti artists took care not to paint over the train cars' vital information 😐.
