Porsche 936 Race weathered.
The old Tamiya kit. This was a disaster for me from the start, the top coat was rattle can Halfords Appliance white and I sprayed from the can instead of decanting like I usually do. This didn't go well and I ended up with a few blemishes. Disheartened, I carried on with the decals which broke up and shrivelled under Micro-sol. I managed to touch these up reasonably well and coated the whole lot with 2K clear.
At this stage the project looked slightly better but not up close so I decided to do some race weathering as an experiment. In the pics it looks fairly light but in reality it is quite heavy weathering and looks quite good. I started by mixing tan with a bit of black and washing this in the fuel filler recesses. I then gently wiped it rearwards to replicate slipstream stains. When this dried I darkened the wash with more black and gently built up the race dirt all over the car. I particularly like the way it looks over the rear wing, the dirt just stains the front edge and naturally fades. Loogs ok IMO. Wheels were done with black pastel after I drybrushed the tyre lettering with yellow. I am going to call it a save as the base kit is poorly built and finished but the weathering adds interest and takes away from the issues I had. Pics were taken before I added the ariel and, looking at the pics, I can see a couple of areas were I need to touch up slightly. Thanks for looking, Steve.

Re: Porsche 936 Race weathered.
Had a look at this one "in the flesh" at a show today and I'd call it save of the year buddy.
Looks like it's really done the whole 24 Hours, so atmospheric. Atb,Alex

Re: Porsche 936 Race weathered.
Hi Alex,
thanks for that. The show seemed to go well today, although I did spend a fair bit of time in BHS restaurant (breakfast) and McDonalds (lunch) ha ha! Congrats on your win with the Ferrari, you know I would have given it best in show. Unfortunately it wasn't up to me. There were some very nice models on display today, mostly military but still good builds nontheless. Regards, Steve.
