[gainsy]

Ok here's what i done, not very happy with the outcome but it's my first attempt at fire, was thinking of doing my undertray like this but think i better practice a lot more, sprayed the candy orange way to think i think

gainsy - when you're painting it's good to check constantly as to how dark it looks on the good side, not the side you're painting. Hold it up against a piece of white paper to see how dense it is too, that should help you sort yourself out.

I know it's far to easy to get carried away with it though and you're so into your artwork you forget.

[gainsy]

Cheers for the advice , i had the plastic sheet taped down so couldn't check it, wont be doing that again, going to change to the paints Jon sells as my brush doesn't seem to like the acrylic paints, in fact i think i am going to get a whole new set up as my compressor is pretty naff as well, will just keep practising & not try to be too ambitious too soon

[eyeayen]

What acrylic paints are you using ???

If you've got plastic over the body, make a window in it, cover it with paper, and put masking tape around it so you can pull it off, check then replace it.

[gainsy]

I am using Faskolor paints, got these as this is what was in the local model shop
Good idea about the window, i will try that
Just going to concentrate on the basic stuff for now, my problem is i always try & run before i can walk, saw the fire being done on the web & thought that's easy how wrong i was, just goes to show how talented you guys all are & how much i need to practice
My compressor is only a 1.8 bar so is only kicking out about 26 psi & my brush is a Aztec A470, well it's not my brush(only on loan), will be getting my own brush soon once my kids stop spending my money
