Chris GreathouseQuestion: Do you think the Tamiya X-13 Metallic Blue that I used on the Blue Shark semi would look good on the Paddy Wagon? If not then I'm going with Gloss Blue.

Donald Dickson III love these types of kits. Absolutely total imagination. You can do just about anything you want as there is nothing in reality to compare it to.

Chris GreathouseOn that note, I'm going with the X-13. I have a bottle and a half of it on the shelf, and I like the look of the color.

Chris Greathouse@Robert, sweet!
And we change colors again. I'm going with a Royal Blue.

Chris Greathouse#MissingNo. Snipped and sanded all pieces from the sprues and got them separated into primer batches for tomorrow.
12 October 2019, 04:21
Chris Greathouse#4 layed down the first coat of primer, also I forgot to mention in #2 that the upper left sprue was decromed with Super Clean.

RichmondNice figure painting Chris - wonder what they would like with a dose of Citadel Agrax Earthshade?
13 October 2019, 12:14
Chris Greathouse@Richmond, I wish I could take credit. They are pre-painted ceramic (or similar) figurines. They are quite heavy and delicate, I already had to glue the guys billy club back into his hand straight out of the box.

Chris Greathouse#5 Second layer of grey primer. I don't think that I will do a final layer of white primer as I was thinking to do. I think I'll start from grey this go around.... laziness for the win 😛 Everything looks even and smooth color wise for a good start tomorrow...

Chaz GordonFollowing this one. Need some motivation to get moving past my two models per year production rate.

Chris Greathouse#6 --- Question: What is the best way to mask off the bars (gold) while I spray the blue body color? Or what would be a good way to do this? Thanks!
15 October 2019, 17:39
Chaz Gordonmasking fluid. Do the bars first, then use some masking fluid after allowing a couple of days to cure on the bars. alternatively, hand paint the bars after, then lacquer the lot
15 October 2019, 18:06
Chris GreathouseI plan on brushing the gold. But I don't want the darker blue undertone under the gold. Unfortunately I don't have liquid mask.
15 October 2019, 18:17
Bob HallCoat it in Clear Elmer's Glue, Let Dry,Paint will chip off when done.
15 October 2019, 18:50
MunkyslutDon't worry about the dark blue, just lay a fresh coat of primer over it after masking off around the bars, which looks pretty easy with some thin Tamiya tape.
You can lay the gold on top soon as it dries using the same mask 😉
15 October 2019, 18:52
Bob HallYeah ! What he said, I just put people behind bars,not paint them ! LOL HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!
15 October 2019, 19:04
Chris GreathouseSo re-primer and paint the gold bars after doing the blue? Thanks for that... Seems like a straight forward process.
15 October 2019, 19:05
Chaz GordonAlternatively, mask the round part of the bars, spray the blue, then hand paint the bars, the blue undertone will provide some further dimension and interest to the gold bars.
15 October 2019, 20:47
Chris Greathouse#7 Here's the blue and gold I'll be using. They look good together. 😄
16 October 2019, 21:04
Chris Greathouse#8 Fell off the Wagon for a couple days 😛 Was playing Euro Truck Sim 😄 Decals done! Waiting a couple hours then I'll spray the last clear coat later today and building tomorrow.
22 October 2019, 20:24
Martin OostromThe royal blue looks like a winner 👍 Nice contrast with the gold
22 October 2019, 21:29
Chaz Gordonlooking good. I know you use Future for your clear, where in the US do you get it? I'm in Oregon and I can't seem to find a chain that stocks it. To be fair I haven't checked wally world yet.
23 October 2019, 04:27
Chris GreathouseAmazon. It's just not called Future any more. There's been many name changes since the Future days. 🙂 amazon.com/dp/B00J5HDC4A

Bill NewcomerCongratz on another colorful addition to your collection. That intake system is way cool!
25 October 2019, 01:38
Chris Greathouse@Tom, yeah I thought that was a great touch.
@All Thanks all for your comments! 😄 It pushes me on 😄
25 October 2019, 21:29
Martin OostromWell done Chris 👍
What's next? Might I push you into a certain Ford?
26 October 2019, 14:50
Nathan DempseyLooks great Chris. The gold color came out well. That's a hard color to paint.
26 October 2019, 16:28
Chris Greathouse@Martin, the '57 Custom, F-350 dullie, or the Le Mans racer?
@All, Thanks guys!
26 October 2019, 17:51
Bob HallSeeing as I'm a Betting man, I'm putting odds that Martin is referring to The Ford GT, judging by amount of finely built racers in his collection !
