As some of you know I am unable to get the airbrush out for a while so I am concentrating on getting loads of projects ready for paint. Here is my mustang so far, all brush painted with intrument decals cut from another tamiya kit. Gunze interior paint set was used for the green and yellow parts with Eduard belts, the wooden floor was scratch made from plasicard which I scratched grain effect into this was then painted brown then washed with black and finally dry brushed in areas of wear with tan.
Hope you like my efforts so far. And thanks for all the tips and inspiration you guys give me.
The floor: I first scribed a wood grain pattern very roughly into a peice of very thin plasticard, this I painted dark brown enamel, while the paint was still wel I made some more wood grain marks with a cocktail stic. Once dry I applied a thicker than normal black oil wash when this had dried I drybrushed some areas with tan acrylic.
Stitching on the belts: I used a brush with two hairs and a very steady hand…only kidding[:o)] the belts are Eduard’s excellent pre painted offerings, cheating I know but I am no pro thats for sure.
You kid, but I have a one hair brush- made it from a cat whisker! Darn thing is pretty useful. Cat ain’t too happy with me… [;)]
(Just kidding… one of our cat’s shed the whisker. It was laying on the floor. Along with a few hairballs, some vomit, a wee-wee stain and a pile-o-surprise… durn cats.)
