I really need to start hanging back out in here so I can catch these quality builds. I've been watching the black basing technique and the color in with grey as well and it's probably the technique I'll use with my Arado build that I'm looking at. All the details and paint are just top notch with this build. Way to go bro.
Thanks Joe. Again, nice to have you back in here. I personally don't care for the black basing stuff. The pebbly look it gives just doesn't look right to my eye. Eye of the beholder I guess. I do however like the black/white and will use it again I think. Thanks again for stopping by bud.
Thanks bud, it feels good being back in here amongst the winged crowd.
It all depends on what you're layin that black base down with and what you're using paint wise when it comes to the flat black there Joe. I usually prime all of my black auto builds with flat black. I use a Badger 350 AB and Testors Flat Black in their One Coat Lacquer System and dispense it from the can into a paint jar. Then I shoot it on in light coats until I've got some decent coverage and then open the needle up to get a good coat on. I have no problems getting flat black basecoat to go down using that method.
My Revell '56 Ford F-100 "Demon II" truck got the flat black primer using the method desribed above with a coat of semi gloss black and then a coat of "Wet Look" gloss. All exterior paints here are Testors One Coat Lacquer System (except the flames which was Alclad II) dispensed and shot through a Badger 350.
