So here goes my first attempt at a model!

All the parts are in a blue plastic, which I have started to remove from the sprues and tidy up. I then airbrushed pure alcohol onto the parts to remove the grease and primed them in gloss black.

I finished the parts with aluminium and chrome to get a metallic effect.

I have learnt a few other techniques such as brush painting and dry brushing to bring out the details. I finished the parts with a gloss varnish and used a diluted smoke wash to get into the recesses. I'm using PVA glue on painted parts so the paint work does not get damaged.

And finally for now, the wheels have been painted gold. 🙂

Thanks very much Craig. Though I don't think it would look like that if I didn't have Richard teaching me...

Wow, nice work! Looking good all the way!
