Hi, I'm sorry to ask again but I want to know as this technic could be useful to me on a prop : what do you call "black wash" ? Dirty water ? Water with some little black paint in it ? A special product available in Propmaker shops ?
Many thanks

Its very thinned out black paint. You can use acrylics with thinners or water. I usually use Tamiya paints with their own thinners. You can also buy a ready made mix from a company called Pro modeller. I use this on my aircraft models.
By the way heres the photo from yesterday , i forgot to add it!

Looking good Andrew, care to share your choice of colors? I always do the bottom first now as I used to focus so much on the top of things that the bottom wouldn't get the attention it deserved! Ooh Err missis!!!!
Have you done any paint chipping effects to the colors or will you do that later?

Te main colour was 2 whole pots of Tamiya Matt white with 2 teaspoons of deck tan. The red is a mixture of tamiya red and red brown. The grey is Tamiya Neutral grey that i have darkened a little. There is maskol masking fluid under the re panels that will peel off and leave chips.
Tomorrow i will do the other panels and maybe start the weathering , depending how much of Marks Moonraker shuttle i get done , and how bad my man Flu is!

Great work andrew!
Your first repaint was very impressive... and to this date your refit cockpit is still the best cockpit I've ever seen on a falcon.
Awesome work! will you be doing the cockpit on this one too?
Hope all is well!

Thomas , thank you. I will be rebuilding the rear wall again but thats all. It took ages to do the overgead and side panels last time , but in the end they couldnt be seen too much.
