The paints involved

Thanks for all the kind words! The decals are shot so I painted everything. The prop is washed, literally, with raw sienna and the red is cadmium red medium hue painted over a light gray primer coat. The other two are titanium white and mars black. All the colors are straight from the tube and have no other color mixed with them. All the masking was done with regular Scotch tape.

It shows that you're an artist of the first degree. I envy you for your talent.

David, is this the Liquitex you normally use and do you thin if out any. Great paint job and the prop certainly looks authentic.

This is it. I thin it with water to make it easier to apply and paint in thin coats. The D 8 has at least six coats.

These are great acrylics. Color options unlimited. Cost more than reasonable and workability with their fast drying times is their greatest asset. Hint: spend a few extra dollars to buy the color wheel. Not only is it a great free flight saucer when you throw it, the mixing charts really work!
