Hi guys, well live and learn, I spray painted a coat of Humbrol clear gloss in prep for the decals and oil wash, I normally brush paint the gloss on, however because I am speed building these, I decided an airbrush would do the trick quicker, however the gloss coat seems to have effected the colour of my dark yellow base.
To explain, I start with a black undercoat, then a dark yellow base, spraying more colour in the middle of larger areas, this gives the model a shaded effect, the gloss has made the thinner layers of dark yellow more transparent, this has made the black undercoat show through and darkened the whole paint job, to prove the point, most of the chipping and scratches were just slightly lighter then the base coat, and didn't stand out much, they are now very obviously a much lighter colour, I considered stripping the lot, and starting over, but it really goes against the idea of speed building, so I have pushed on, added decals and an oil wash.
Anyway, what do you think so far?
Next up, matte coat, painting some details, license plates, then weathering.
