1960 Starliner, wip

Great looking engine James!!!! Very realistic !!!!

Your work is spectacular. I would like to ask you a few quick questions about your painting process sometime. Again, great work man.

for the tranny on this one i used pencil led, rub it on with your finger, then black pastel dust and some rust color.

i also like to use black and some white pastel on the hoses black for dirt and white gives a faded look.

 

theres no dry brushing on this one. since the engine is black i rubbed a bit of pencil led around to highlight bolt heads and stuff. and a bit of light brown pastel for some dust on the manifold.

Wow thats it? pencil lead. Cool Ill for sure have to try that on mine. I got the same kit and was going to go full custom but I like the way this engine of yours looks actaully like it just came out of a real car. I love your work.

What do you use for a base coat, for engine and transmission? and for drybrushing?

James that is a beautiful engine!!!! looking forward to seeing this one!! I remember awhile back you were working on a Mopar of some sort, superbird i think it was. Then never saw it finished, is it?

Thats a nice looking kit.  Was this kit a reissue or all new tooling?
