Re: Ping & Pong present: Two VERY Red Ferraris

Ok guys: thing come hard now LOL:

When I (well we, me and Mr.Ping) said that those ladies done 15.000 miles in China, we dont mean that:



but something close to:







and... no you aren't in the wrong forums: this isn't battle tank and army equipment forum: those are ever our girls LOL

So... time to dirty up a bit my pony: my viewpoint is that my scangi is at 14990 miles done, few befofore the well deserved final wash , so if they achieved (I guess) some body wash over ther raid, I guess underpanel was in a terrible (for a ferrari, not for your suv LOL) condition at athe end: this is mine:



I started weathering by drybrushing several tones of brown and sand over 3 shades of blacks:



1- is TS6 matt black, 2- is ModelMaster flat black, 3- is Vallejo acryl black (lightened with a 10% of sand)



At this point I realized that my stained/heated mechs was really in a comic contrast with undrpanels:



Step by step: 3 or 4 layers of brown, every step lightned a bit



followed by 5/6 layers of sand, lightened to dark-white over the process:



I tried to mantain something of the original color (LOL) to see differences from metal, plastic, protection laquer etc...



at this point was time to washing all with a black crap , so XF1 thinned with alchol, followed from a dirty hand of Flat black MM thinned with sinthetic thinner ( the cheap thing normally used to clean brushes or thin oil paint insthead natural trementine). I put a lot of liquid on bolts and panel joints and let he flush throught the chassis





enough for 15000 dirty miles? BTW I promise, my red car would be a factory showroom thing, something that love marketing managers that have to sell it LOL
