GS-1sf 1st build - Cocoa

[BuffaloGhost]

I used mdf that has veneer on it to see how much would show through if I didn’t brain fill the wood. I’m not sure how this veneer is compared to the kit veneer but this is v noticeable. 6 coats of primer too. Hmmm

Anyway I’ve layed down some gold coats. 5 quick coats with 15 mins flash time. Of HOK solar and gamma gold. The gamma is this more orange coloured one.

Solar matches the gold flake more

Will be interesting to see what they look like when flaked then candied.

The rattle cans of HOK are great for testing but definitely more patchy than a gun and need building up more. I’d spray slightly wetter with a gun personally but this is fine.

Solar gold I think looks lovely! Nice shine on it.

Anyway. This is done until next week. Giving these colour coats a full weekend in the booths to dry fully.

I get to unpack the kit tonight. I think I might pee I’m so excited.

Well I've injected some blood sweat and tears in my builds but this probably a step too far.

cheers, Mark.
