Hi Dave lol i made few mistakes one was body it was black and red it did not work for me so got another kit for spares finished It about week ago. I was looking at the red and black thinking what I can do so clean it up and thought what colour so had some blue lefted over then thought about the wheels so again something different lol do think they work well together. At moment working on engine it should be black but going for gold or sliver think It would look nice which colour choose I don't know will go with flow tonight not that fast lol Ian Facebook-model maker

Nice blue Ian, and the wheels look good. Are you going to drill the holes in the brake disc?

Nice start Ian, love the blue you have chosen. Have you thought about either drilling the holes in the brake discs as already suggested or maybe dropping in a dark oil paint wash instead to make them stand out? I think it would really benefit the overall look, and if this turns out as nice as your red version it'll be very cool - well done.

Hello Ian,
There are two types of wash, an 'overall' wash, where you cover a large area in wash using a brush and allow the colour to bleed into crevices, panel lines and details which when dried leaves a collection of the dark pigment in the crevices/details without overly affecting the tone of the surrounding areas, though it will darken them slightly depending on how well thinned the wash is - or not? I find it best to cover the whole area in a light layer of clean thinners first before brushing the wash over the top while the clean layer of thinners is still drying, the primer coat of thinners helps the wash to move towards the crevices and details and gives a better end result?
The other type is a 'pin' wash, where a small, fine tipped brush is used to just drop small amounts of wash into and very close to the detail/panel lines and crevices, without putting it onto unwanted areas? If you just want to make the holes in your brake discs appear darker then a 'pin' wash would be the one for you to use in this instance?
You need to thin your paint to a watery consistency, hence the name 'wash' and don't just use a straight black, it looks unnatural. Better to use a black/brown mix in a 50/50 or 60/40 ratio (black/brown).
The media you use for making the wash depends on what underlying paint you have used, but a mix of oil or enamel paints with a turpentine or white spirit type thinners is usually best I find? If the silver you have used on the discs is oil or enamel based, then you will need to seal it first with an acrylic varnish, to stop the oil/enamel/thinners in the wash from affecting the silver paint beneath? Acrylics don't mix with oil/enamel based paints and vice-versa, so you could then safely use your oil/enamel/thinners wash over the top of the acrylic varnish? If your silver paint is acrylic, you can just apply the oil/enamel/thinners wash over the top without needing to use a varnish first though it's always good practice to seal the underpaint anyway in case you want to remove the wash?
Here are a few useful sites that might help you:
http://modelairplanebuilding.com/washes.html
http://www.scalemodelgui...eathering/paint-washes/
http://hlj.com/guides/wash.html
There are many more guides on the net which will all say the same sort of thing?
It's always a good idea to practice the method on an old/damaged model first before trying it on your cherished build, only moving onto something like your bike when you are comfortable with what you are doing/
Hope that helps?
Kev

Hello Ian,
In that case, having used Tamiya Acrylics as your main coat, all you need to do is apply your thinned oil or enamel wash over the top, as it won't affect the acrylic paint underneath. Always best though to just cover your underlying paint layer in an acrylic varnish (gloss) first which will help if you aren't happy with your wash effect and want to remove it to try again? Once the wash has dried you can then either leave as is if you want a gloss finish or apply another layer of varnish according to whether you want a matt or satin finish instead then job done?
Personally, if you just want to accentuate the holes in the discs, you'd be better off buying yourself a set of micro drill bits and a pin vice and just drill them out, which is how they would be in reality anyway and much less hassle to do?
Hope that helps?
The three bikes together look cool in their various colours - well done!!
