I take the time to get a good finish on the nose of this famous
Old Hog-Nose.
It is worth trying to give the best honors to this wonderful bird.
Based on several actual photos and the great combinatios of colors in the nose; ... of the options that I could see in the version I am making, I will make it metallic in its entirety, but with two different tones.
I decided on
Alclad II.
I started by sanding and polishing as best as possible this little piece and after applying Primer, I polished it again as best I could.
Then as base primer, I used the same color
Glossy Sea Blue 71.300 from Vallejo M.A.
Apply the first color of Alclad II ...
... once dry (not too long), I covered it with liquid mask ...
... and applied the second tone of Alclad II ...
I carefully removed the liquid mask and liked the result:
I hope you like it.
... that's all so far, ...
(regarding my question in the previous post), if anyone has a suggestion regarding the application of the Future and proceed with the decals, I am all ears.
Gracias y saludos.
