jabbasdead Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 what shade of gray did you end up using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3RN Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 what shade of gray did you end up using? Well I hope its not off, but I ended up using Rustoleum automotive primer spray paint. Light Gray Here is the link. http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=37 Oh also FYI, the black paint I used is Citadel Paints Chaos Black. Its a really nice paint that flows well from an artist's brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Very neat, I would have made the black area a bit larger and gone about half way over the flat surface, this way makes the helmet look more beefy. The grey looks too light and bluey, a standard grey undercoat spray may be a better shade.Buy a decent set of decals, KS are too light and inaccurate, or just tell me to shut up.

Junglie Scout Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Guys, I used Rust-Oleum Surface Primer (Matt finish) and then did the aerator with good old fashioned Halfords Matt Black. http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb378/...ld/IMAG0116.jpg The snout is a Don Jarr; its a really nice cast and would recommend them to UK scouts. This lid being a DP I modded. I agree with John that a little more black paint halfway round the flat area is needed, it can be seen in the gallery area here: BSN Gallery pic Andy.

In terms of Lancer, would it be acceptable? If not I will do further mods if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
