Never did post pics of my finished Monogram 'stang. I was waiting for a PSP base to put it on and ended up getting the Eduard one. It's stll in the bag and I haven't come around to finishing the display with other work going on.

Great pics Bill! thanks for sharing them..

Have changed my mind here.... Will still do 'The Lord is my Sheperd', but I think that I'll either do 'The Millie G' (P?) from the 55th FG or 'Just hang'en Around' from the 78th FG....

Question is with though, what do I spray first, the silver or the red/olive drab?

Catch22 · 03-05-2010, 11:13 AM

Depends what you use. I've found paint doesn't stick well to Alclad, if that's what you're using.

Lucky13 · 03-05-2010, 11:25 AM

I'm using Games Workshop Mithril Silver, recommended by Obi Wan Little.....

Catch22 · 03-05-2010, 11:38 AM

Not sure then, don't know the properties of it!

Lucky13 · 03-05-2010, 12:30 PM

Let's hope that his Grace Little, will honour us with his presence then, to spread the gospel.....

It's generally best to apply the 'solid' colours first, to avoid reaction from the metallic particles in the 'silver'. This is true of any metallic coating, enamel. laquer or acrylic, unless the metallic is given a clear, sealing coat before applying a 'solid' colour. Metallics will cover 'solids' without undue reaction, but not, normally, the other way around.
