    WPF 05/27/16 to 06/03/16

    I'll use prototype photos sometimes. It's a challenge to try to recreate a specific car. Plus it may keep me from over doing it. I find that if I don't have a subject I'll get carried away and do too much. Weathering is a layered process. All the steps need to be in concert with one another.

    Decals, dul-coat, weathering?

    Before applying decals it's best to spray the model with a gloss coat. This will allow the decals to stick better and conform over any raise details.
