DARKVIEW, you guys are so much further ahead re; this project , up to the rectenna and upper hull details etc. We're still on # 20 ( mag & parts ! ) , Can I please ask , with the 'oil-method ' which is the way I've definitely decided to base coat my falcon, can the 'hair -spray' method or salt- method be used for weathering purposes over an oil-based coat? And if so are there any steps ( using gloss/matt varnish on oil based coat ) , before applying the hair/salt component for chipping/weathering ? Sorry to ask, ( you're way past this stage ), but I'm just beginning to weather outer panels and trying to achieve ' realistic' chipping. Any help/advice greatly appreciated . Ged
Cheers Jaitea, cool video. This method will still achieve a 3D type chipping effect? And the blue colour was just for reference I'm assuming ( lol ' blue milk' Aunt Beru, hope it's not ! lactose free! ). I'm in Aus, where would I look for the latex solution you used, and is there a substitute... ie masking fluid ?. Thanks , Ged

The video seemed to be steps 1-10, but with steps 6-9 missing. What happens between putting on the blue stuff and the finished model?
