Signs of things to come.

So on to the next model. This model is going to be a bit of a proof of concept, but should still end up being a good looking model in the end.
First up, I used a gloss black lacquer primer and put on like 3 or 4 layers. Before it dried I used a toothpick to just scratch and damage the paint and then followed up with one final layer of primer and let that all cure fully.

And then it was about getting the chrome right. I was really struggling getting the chrome right, it turns out the chrome is on perfectly it is the light that messes it up. So I put the model in just the normal ambient light and it looks absolutely fantastic. The camera does not do it justice though.
