Ira Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Silver Disc! Finally decided how to paint the Saucer. I started by masking off the areas to be lit up. I used paper towels to mask off the inside of the Windows. Then I sprayed on a couple coats of Tamiya Silver Leaf. More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hot Rod Shop! I sprayed the top of the Saucer with Testors Glosscote and let it dry. Then I applied the "Hot Rod Shop" Decals by Slixx. I also added the "Isky Cams" Decal from Fremont Racing Decals. Unfortunately the TSDS "Alpha Centari" Decals were defective, couldn't use any of them. Next I painted some Brass details on the top of the Saucer. Then I sprayed the parts with Testors Dullcote. More Coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Black Wash! I thinned "The Detailer", Black with about 30% Water and brushed it over the Saucer. Then I let it dry overnight and gently wiped the Saucer off with a damp paper towel removing the Wash from the High Spots & leaving it the Low Spots. I'm going to do a little more Wiping in the Tight areas with a damp Q-Tip and then I will spray on a couple coats of Testors Dullcote. More Coming...

Next I need to remove about 1/16" from the bottom of the Body. I applied a black wash and then sprayed the Wheels with Dullcote. I cut 1/16" from the bottom of the Body and then Primed it.
