QUOTE: Originally posted by David Foster Looks great! Before I try this myself can you tell us... did the clear parts cement leave a gloss finish at all... vanish, blend in or dry matt? Also, looking at the two pics, is the colour difference one of image rendition or did MILW cars tend toward an nasty shade of pink? If the latter... how on earth do we weather models to this shade/sort of shade. It happens that I was weathering my similar MILW car last night, can't give you a photo, but I was very pleased with the effect of Winsor and Newton's "Buff Titanium"... (almost a North European flesh colour). Applied extremely sparingly as a stiple this both broke the deep yellow at a distance and, close up, gives the appearance of light dusting... so now I would like to achieve some of those good, deep rust patches. Isn't it weird the things that work in weathering?
