Nigel's 1993 Indy 500 ride
This is one i have had in and out of the box for a few false starts. With the Xmas holidays i thought lets have a crack at it. I always liked these kits and it was a shame they were done as a snap kit, i think if they had of been a glue kit there would have been more traction and maybe we would of had more than the two Lola's?
So this is where i go to last time, sanded the seamlines and painting went well till i had done the black and noticed my white had a small mark in it, i sanded this down and then thought to help the declas i will just shoot a little TS13 onto the body, well i then ended up with the lovely melted paint finish, and this was with a dust coat.

Re: Nigel's 1993 Indy 500 ride
Managed to get some decals done between being Mr Mum and keeping order in the house. It is nice when you get the kids to bed and there is that quiet time just for you....lol
Decals are Museum Collection which i got with the kit, i have never used them before and found them very easy to work with and i do like that there was basically no carrier film so you do not have to trim tight around the decals.

Re: Nigel's 1993 Indy 500 ride
Well i went ahead and used the Mr Super Clear UV Cut after seeing Jeff's Leyton House first hand. I have to say great stuff. I used it from the can as i am over my airbrush at present after a couple of mishaps, i did as per what everyone is saying a couple of mist coats and building up to heavy at the end, i think i took around 4 hours till i was done as i left this for 45 minutes at times before the next go, we are also having some sensational HOT weather right now which is happy days for painting.
I will now decide if i will rub this back or just leave it and finish it up and move onto the next one.     |
