Fermis, can you show a couple of "action" shots of how you did that mottle? That looks amazing.
Satch
Thanks! Didn't take any "action" shots, sorry. I can tell you that I cut the end of the foam down to about 1/16" wide by about 1/2 inch long. Put a puddle of paint on my glass, dip the foam, dab most of the paint off, to the side, so there wouldn't be any big blobs of paint on the model. You get about 4-5 dabs on the model before having to dip again. Since the pics above, I've added some more "mottling", and it looks a lot better....you'll see that later!
Until then....here's a FAIL
Not sure exactly what happened, there's no real rhyme nor reason....pretty random and it happened pretty quick. I sprayed laquer (gloss) over enamel, just like I've always done. May have sprayed on too heavy....not thinned down enough.......I dunno???? It has been stripped and I have started repainting. Glad I sprayed this one first, and not Wicks!
