BMW 507 cabrio WIP

Dominik Weitzer
Second old built I grabbed out ...
I started this about one year (not sure if it is the second year) and planed it as junk yard / parts car.
Engine out, some damages, rusty.
Base coat is red primer. Before I used chipping fluid (mug), I painted "comouflage" different colors ( Tamiya) orange, brown, Amber.
Than the layer of chipping medium.

After painting Chippingfluid (MIG) I painted the whole body in a light green. I used water-based vallejo Colors.
On the left fender, hood and in front of the windshield the paint cracked after drying. The effect is perfect! It is the first time that this happened but just perfect.
A model colleague told me, that this happens if you paint wet in wet. That could be, I had no long time tolet the fluid dry.

Made some progress with the chipping method. I used needles, brushes, toothpicks for scratches and remove the paint. Also used them to "correct" the cracked peaces and get them in place. It is really easy, when the paint is softened with a brush and water. Excercises.
My focus is the left side and front. So the model will be placed on a base.
