R8 2001: Weathering Heights |
||
A much used
technique to give a slotcar such an "As raced" look is called
Weathering. Most use water based paints like Tamiya or Testor acrylics. Strongly diluted (1:20) they are applied over the clear laquer topcoat. You can use an Airbrush or soft brush or a combination of both. There's no fixed rule, just find some good ref photo's and experiment |
To
beat the Champions Buying the best car on the block Gulf backed Johannson and the American Champion team tried to beat the champions with last year cars... So money can't buy everything,... but they did bring some colour to the (Silver)grey Audi pack. And gave us 2 new 1/24 versions to build. |
