Blackfoot

[knotty]

Today thanks to a day off and the house to myself i have had chance to finish my Blackfoot. I have gone with a metallic purple(no surprise there then!!) BUT with a bit of a chameleon flip to it.After a trip to morley models last night i came home and give the body a good sanding to get the sheen off it then a few coats of Halfords grey primer and left to stand overnight in the airing cupboard.(the mrs nearly went mad this morning when she went in to get a towel out for her shower.Oh well in bother again!!!)

For the base coats i used fastrax fast finish pearl purple. left it to dry over lunch then this afternoon another few coats of the same firms jade chameleon. I know they are for polycarbonate bodys but the result on hard type bodies is fantastic. The jade is a clear laquer with metallic flecks in but really does give the base colour a flip. topped it off with a couple of layers of clear laquer and done.

Ive done a few pictures but you really need to see them in sequence to get the full effect of the paint.

anyway hope you like
