Shiny gold through to pastel yellow. I’ve been busy painting the #Faller Flipper roundabout.
#alclad for the gold. @vallejocolors for the ice yellow and #tamiya for the pastels.
I’m waiting on some #alclad aluminium to do the other pieces.

Busy day airbrushing. I still can’t do the rubbe

Busy day airbrushing. I still can’t do the rubber water as the Mod Podge has some white still. Thankfully I have two projects on the go so I primed my Faller Flipper pieces.
First up, I added LED strip and changed the filter on my bench vent.
I’m trying to be more deliberate in my airbrushing. To be honest, I struggle airbrushing acrylics. I often over thin, clog the tip all the time and just generally don’t like it. I will always pick a spray can or hand paint.
Today, I decided to try lacquers. I’ve bought some Mr Color and their levelling thinner. This is Mr Surfacer 1000 thinned at 1:1.5. It is lovely to spray because you can put your airbrush down without it clogging and it goes on beautifully.
The main downside is it’s toxicity. It stinks and probably kills a few brain cells every time you smell it. I have an organic solvents mask, have 3 extractor fans going and the door wide open until the thunderstorm so it wasn’t too bad but I went straight out!

Waiting for my gloss Mod Podge to clear 😢 so I can pour my rubber water. I was hoping to finish this week but instead am getting on with the Flipper. Forgot to take any photos though so here’s a flashback to one of the few completed sections on my layout.

Testing bullet trails in the resin. I might have put a little bit too much tint in! I am going to use the finer wire.
The bubbles are because I tried to suspend a figure in the middle but I hadn’t waited long enough between the two layers. When I poured the second layer, it went under the first and trapped the bubbles. Chatting to the guys at @bentleyadvanced if you add the second layer too late it may delaminate.
I decided to put Lara on a piece of thin acetate instead.
