Members Singermania Posted October 21, 2013 Report Hi Gordon, wow thats really impressive!!! My old patchers don't look quite that good...... I find painting the gold lettering on the no 6 hand wheel quite difficult as often the raised bits are worn, what would be your advise? Regards Steve Quote
Members gordond Posted October 21, 2013 Report hi Steve..thanks! for the compliment..[good for the ego and all that].. the double star was going to done via my vinyl cutter [design on a PC]..but it was taking too long ,so resorted to protractor ,ruler and frisket film.the first silver star[sectioned mask] was applied and a airbrush held at the wheel centre and wheel turned slowly whilst applying the copper wash. the gold star -a full mask overlay and this is where it got messy..too much paint lift.[and real shonky alignment on my part] I will post the HM6 detail with an explanation about the worn lettering.
