Impressive painting, the Steel on the upper right looks like it was heated. Beautiful!

 

For those pieces I had previously put down Vellejo steel, a considerably lighter color.  I purposely left some shading by varying the amount of Alclad in some areas.  To make it look even more like burned steel I subsequently (after photo) put down a very transparent layer of Tamiya metallic blue.  Photos of that will be posted soon on the Allison 1500 build in the Aircraft forum.  That kit calls out for a number of burned metal areas!  It is a real exercise in metal finish work- using far more metal finishes than painted areas.

Alclad Steel

I have long wanted a darker steel shade than the Testors enamel or Vejello steel.  Ordered some Alclad Steel, and tried it last two days.  Love it!  It is a darker shade, and looks a lot like a heated oil steel finish.  Here is a shot of a post I just made in my Allison turboprop build (in Aircraft forum).

 

 

The steel is on the burners in upper left, and the turbine section casings in upper right.
