IT. . . HAS. . . BEGUN!!!!!!!
This evening, I have applied the basecoat of lacquers up to Hammerstein's "knees" using G-S Mr. Metal Stainless Steel. So far so good. . . This will be my "test canvas" throughout upon which to assay the variegated metallic effects I hope to achieve. IF I am not entirely successful, this is the area that will be subjected to the greatest weathering, so no harm.
I will buff-out the tracks shortly, but the lower legs will be allowed to cure as applied.
NEXT: Dark Iron and Iron mottling. . .
UPDATE 07.11.15. . . Basecoating is complete save for the arms. Mottling on the legs is done! HINT: Mottling should be done over/in 2-3 sessions (read: layers), allowing-to-dry and buffing between layers.
UPDATE 08.11.15. . . Basecoating and mottling are done! Spot highlighting with lacquers is underway!!
