Good luck mate, it's an easy way. Looks good as a top coat on cars, called the marbeling effect, check out my kwak z1 build.

I paint the base colour (the lighter of the two ) allow that to dry then screw up some cling film, then apply the darker colour and whilst still wet I dab it with the cling film till I get the look I want (turning the cling film all the time) then when dry coat with satin varnish, allow that to dry then use washes to dirty it up, hope that helps.

possible background may change a bit don't know till I start this is drawn to 1/8 scale measuring our doors and the hight of our sills.

Hi all well this will be my last post on this one till at least next friday as off for the funeral in Scotland tomorrow. I broke and lost part of the steering last night so had to make a new bit gave the bottom another coat of muck and added a bit of grease also (although my art days are way behind me nowadays)(and I never could do portraits)this is supposed to be Rene from Allo Allo, he will be behind a dirty window in the dio so I may get away with it, if not there's always plan B.

Hi all well I've managed to get a bit in today, here is the first coat of the dirtying of the underneath

Hi all done a bit more to this one.

Hi all well I got a couple of hours in, here are my efforts

Hi all well I got £100 off my boss for xmas so ordered some gold leaf for the infamous ship a 1/16 revell VW Karmenn Ghia and managed to find German 1/8 machine gun for this dio 29.99 (bit pricey and it's not even a kit) I figure the effort I've put into this and the cost of the kit it will be worth it (yes it's a German machine gun but I figure they could have stolen it)

Hi all well the shine has been taken off a bit (due to recent events) (missus mum died yesterday)but here is what I won

Hi all I'm a member of a few forums and on one of them (model space) I've been voted "member of the year" to say I'm in shock would be an under statement. I am so chuffed, and humbled (it's a member voting system) so people must like my stuff enough to vote

Hi all last update before christmas.

Hi all did a bit more on the interior.

Hi all given the green a coat of paint and weathered that and done a bit more to the copper

Hi all well I've started weathering the copper.

Hi all well I've figured it out, On the ladder frames which you slide the subframe on the sub frame was about a mill away from end of the ladders which through everything else out unfortunately that part was stuck with a capitol S but with a lot of jiggeling I've moved it the mill required so now back to work, I've added the inner roof lining and weathered it. for some reason the weathering is not showing up in the pics very well, trust me it looks very grubby.

Hi all I've gone for the copper leaf (needs a bit of patching) but I think its ok
