Dan I thin it down just like paint it's pretty thin and lay down a couple of light coats.It dries fast to the touch esp with the humidity we are experiencing now.I have laid down a 2nd coat in as little time as 30mins.Kevin

Dan if I had to guess it's about 50/50 if not just a touch more thinner.
 
Looks great with the decals on man!

tried the Black 'coloured' pencil today during lunch break....not impressed at all, couldn't create enough 'dust' in sufficient quantity to pick up or use, tried pastel and worked perfectly....
 
Ya Wayne I use a little pre-shading but pastels I like to play with after the flat,one of the funnest parts of the build
 
Well, I broke down and bought me a set of cheapo charlie pastels... So now I get to try and accomplish something else Ive never before attempted....

I just re-read Wayne tutorials concerning the applications, and the one thing that has me kinda horrified is mimicking the exhaust stains, which on this particular Dora are pretty severe....

nah piece of p!ss...however it is better done on the matt paint with the gloss sealing it in....further touchups can be done at the end once the matt coat is on....

Start thick in close and fade it out as you go....you can control the build up quite easily....to get a good effect!
 
Obviously too late for that Wayne.... Am I gonna have a problem where Im at right now then??? I was going to spray the gloss over the model, getting the decals sealed, let that dry overnight and then hit a flat/matte coat....

Once that dries, detail and weather this sucker with airbrush, pencil and pastels till its done, then flat coat it one final time and be done....

Does this sound about right??
 
Yes Dan I never really thought about that chalk or oils?I bought mine at Joe's place out there in the modeling section.The technique Dan of doing post shading works great for me thus far.The only thing is I like to lighten the model up some with whites and light grays up top and to go back and clear over that makes that effect mainly non-existence,all for naught.Like I mentioned earlier it has become one of the better parts of building for me.Generally if you screw it up you wipe it off and I think the oils might not let that happen as easy.Kevin
 
For you Dan, another pic of the "red 1" I have found.Source unknown.
