Whaz up RonUSMC,
This is one of a few a/c that I used
pastel chalk for the panel lines.
The first thing I did was put a few light coats of gloss on. Once that is dry(let it sit for a day or two), I started to apply the
pastel chalk. For this particular Stang I used
Charcoal grey chalk.
To brush it on I used a
VERY fine artist brush. Then I go back over the area w/ a
wider brush which kinda looks like a cats tongue. By using a wider brush, it helps me to remove unwamted chalk and also helps to blend in to the area. I would repete the steps until I got what I was looking for.
Since that a/c I do the panels w/ a method called
"Smudge wash". Again put a few coats of
gloss on her(waiting a day or so).
Then I'll use a
water based paint either a
dk grey or
scale black I than mix distilled water into the paint.(The paint to water ratio is all up to you).
From there I'll take a fine brush and go over the panels in sections. I'll let it sit for about 10 - 15 min then go back over the areas w/ a moistened
Q-tip. I'll repete the steps till I'm pleased w/ the look.
The "smudge wash" method is also is covered in FSM by Paul Boyer which month I'm not sure of. I think it was in the last 7mnts or so.
I hope this explains the Mustang's panel method plus I gave you another option aswell that you may like. Any other questions please feel free to e-mail me.
