Hey guys,
I thought I would post some better closer up shots of this model because I was asked about tire weathering and clear coat by other members.
The story of the build is actually a little crazy - I over did my last clear coat by mistake - and when I say 'Over Did' I mean it because right after I placed
the model in the drying bin I looked at it from above and the clear had started to turn white on me - it was like looking at a cloud on the surface! I was
freaking out, but I thought quickly and I set up a heat lamp directly above the acrylic container and left it there for the rest of that day. Slowly but surely
the clear coat sat down almost perfectly leveled and completely clear.
It was tense times though and I got lucky with conditions I believe more than anything else, and I wouldn't want to try and replicate a clear coat that way
ever again because its too unpredictable and nerve racking! But everyone who sees the model assumes there was a ton of buffing, when in actuality there
was None
