Still waiting on you to reach the point where you put this all together on a single display. It it going to be huge and awesome.

Thanks man , like me grandmother used to say when I wanted something , " Put shat in one hand and want in the other and let me know which one gets heavier first " .

Alright, spill it. How did you get the excellent affect on the chassis? Inquiring minds want to know! This whole project has been fascinating

LOL , thanks Greg , I've covered that in the past , it's actually very , very easy and if you lay to much paint down , either metal or red primer you can correct it by respraying either till it's just right .

I start by spraying everything with Glidden Max Flex [ rattle can ] Shining Armor [ Home Depot ] .
Then I stand way back and spray [ in this case ] Rustoleum red/brown primer so it gives a stipple effect over the shining armor .
Too much primer , give it a mist of more armor or vice versa .

Shining Armor with a tad heavier spray of primer and some other rust colors added as a wash .

@Cheyenne that goes in my bag of tricks! Thank you

 

[Cheyenne]

Almost forgot , Glidden Max Flex rattle can spray paints are highly , highly recommended .
Ya gotta shake the hell outta them for a real good spell but they spray like air brushses .
They also dry to touch in less then a minute and I've painted/washed over them with acrylics in just as little time .

Downside , no olive greens , they do have pastel earth colors tho and most of what I've built on this never ending project has Max Flex paints as the base colors .
