RSS Fetcher Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 The only modelling I have actually managed to do in the last few weeks comes in the form of completing and priming this Austin box van. The light wasn't really up to work in progress shots, not that a touch of filling and rubbing down makes impressive viewing! It does reveal my approach to priming/run down/undercoat however. With resin kits this is quite important as however good the castings are, the odd pinhole bubble is all but inevitable, so after a (very) thorough wash, a thin coat of grey acrylic primer, which when allowed to dry showed where the filler was wanted. A small amount of Squadron green putty rubbed down and then another thin coat of Games Workshop white primer - the different colour is important as you can see when you rub down between coats, another light rub down where it was needed an a third coat of white to thoroughly cover and act as an undercoat for the cream. When I've sourced that, I'll be able to do some more to it... http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7514/austin1.jpg http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2074/austin2q.jpg The cab is only positioned for photography btw, while the chassis has had a coat first of matt black spray and then the wheel hubs and fuel tank picked out in Humbrol satin black.
