2coats of natural stain and 1 coat of intensify on the rest of body all looks good. Thinking about a thin blue pin stripe to define the two colours before doing the finishing coats. but dont know if a permanent marker would react to the dingotone, has anyone used a texta or marker under the finish coat

Wow Adam , this looks great. Cant help with the blue line and possible reactions, but i think it would make a nice sharp border

[Adam Barnes]

Thanks stan

Hi Adam that's looking very cool. With the marker pen I would test it on a small area and see if the blue darkens and it soaks in, or stain some scrap blue, let it cure and try it out.
Otherwise send DB an email or PM he may or may not recommend it.
Can you try another coat of blue stain ?

I'm confused with the kit model having an 'L' usually means left hand but this is a righty !

[Adam Barnes]

Its a righty, youd have to ask the boss man about the model name.

[wokkaboy]

yeah thought it was a righty unless you mirrored your images. All good.

I just checked and you are correct with the model - usually L means left but not in this case !

So after reading through the forums, for hrs, dingotone is oil based. An oil based marker should be a compatible.

L stands for Lopez

Oh man, looks even better all mocked up! Personally I would leave it as-is, but just my 2c . That being said, I am looking forward to being proved wrong! Such a nice build man.

cheers,
Gav.
