this was my first run with alclad paints, it turned out ok

 

[T Bolt]

Fantastic work!!
I had a bad experience with Alclad the first time I tried it a number of years ago but seeing the results you got, I should give it another try. what did you use as a primer? I think that's where I went wrong.

 

[Matt308]

Wonderful. And great photography too.

T-bolt, the primer i use was model master gloss black very diluted and apllied in several coats till you get the black yuo want, let it dry for at least 3 days, and then you can use the alclad

very nice, great shots too

I'll have to try that. I used the Alclad black primer and when the aluminum went on it cracked all over the place and I haven't used Alclad since. Maybe I had a bad bottle of the primer. Was the Model Master enamel or acrylic?

Fantastic NMF, very realistic.
Also very nice way to present model.

 

[meatloaf109]

I agree.

 

[oppenheimer]

T-bolt sorry i forgot to mention it was enamel model master

Love it. How about you join a group build and plop yourself in the advanced category? Costs you nothing but a trip to the hobby shop and hopefully you'll get some fun out of it.

Can you tell us which Alcad shades you used? I see at least 2 there.

 

[oppenheimer]

in the fuselage i used only 2 shades of alclad, in the wings i used 4 shades, right now the only one i remember is Polished Aluminum, the other 3 i can't remember i builded 2 years ago

 

[Hotntot]

Certainly came good on this one. Cool photography too.

 

[otftch]

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love a nice Jug! The only thing better is a "Pair O' Jugs"!

That is amazing....
I may give alclad a go on my 1/32nd Merlin;s Magic.

I feel like a rooky seeing your finished products.
