cog Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share #66 Posted July 1, 2018 I've been looking all over the kitchen table for that blasted hull, must haven been thrown in the garbage ... with the rotten fruits. Temps are 30ºC presently and food is hard to keep fresh ... so is my hull it seems, ah well, I'll just have to start over again Should have warned the missus ... H92 (that's the other one) is at the painters. First 8 layers of primer have been applied, it seems I'll have quite a few more to go ... Last rattle can is being used ... I'll just need to order a couple more ... Have been looking for Glowworm ... she'll turn out like Vendetta for colour scheme ... no "other" camo known, so I can put some more effort into weathering ... would like to come close to RGL's artful creations, don't tell him, but he's good!!

RGL Posted July 4, 2018 Share #82 Posted July 4, 2018 It will be visible as long as the top coat is sprayed on. That’s why I modulate then use a piece of paper to use as an edge to highlight.
