Rattlecan Dan Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 One of those "Leaves you Speechless" builds. Incredible realism. Great work Marcos. 1
cotto Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 The minute I saw it, I knew it was your build! As always, you knock it right out of the park. Attention to detail is incredible. Not everyone makes 2K look so good because not everyone knows how to shoot 2K. Is there a specific way you go around that? 1

Attention to detail is incredible. Not everyone makes 2K look so good because not everyone knows how to shoot 2K. Is there a specific way you go around that? 2K is not very different from your regular clear my friend but yes, if you are not careful, you will definitely finish with that "dipped in syrup" look. I just do two even coats with ten minute intervals and for my last coat, I thin the mix a tad more and shoot a final wet coat being careful I don't add too much paint. That last thinned coat will smooth everything up as it's drying. Once dry, I will look for any debris in the paint, wet sand, smooth and finish up with a good polishing. My best advice is to master the use of a good polishing system.....

Dave Thank you my friend, the show is currently held in Boyertown, just a few miles west of Gilberstsville. Still a great show though I prefer judge style ones myself....
