Hulett unloader - Part 7

Well the wash process that I was going to start with did not work out so well, I had to repaint the lower half again. A wash as you know takes time to dry and is hard to control the flow when applying it to a plastic surface. Never the less my results were horrible. This time I started with a 50/50 mix of both "Floquil" Rail Brown and Oxide Red. I sprayed large portions of the model with this color. Then I went back over the whole model lightly overspraying it with the same color to help blend it in. I have attached three (3) photos at this stage. Next, I plan on adding some decals and begin detail painting certain parts of the model. Then I will give it the next round of weathering.

Hulett Unloader - Part 6

Today I began painting one of my two hullett's. I painted the lower portion with Floquil "Weathered Black". I know the pictures that I posted are not that impressive to this point, but I wanted everyone to know that I really started. Tomorrow I plan beginning the second step of the process which will begin the weathering process. This will be a rust colored wash to start, this process takes time becuse I have to let the model dry while a rotate it around. After that point I will began with the airbrushing technique that I tried and liked on the tiple project I did a year ago. Then I will come back to do some detail painting on areas of the model such as the lights and safety colors on the railings.
