RE: People - painting, trackside & ideas - Scuderia_Turini - 2nd-Jul-19

Yo Steve, For my Citroen I used Humbrol "Dark Green 30 Matt" but decided it was too matt and gave it one coat of lacquer.
I believe the vehicles were matt finish to avoid any sunlight flaring to the cameras. 
I think Dinky used gloss to make them more appealing to buyers.

My photograph makes the Citroen look more pale than it is...

Cheers Leo , might nip up to our local motorfactors and see what they have , I rather thought that it was a flat colour .The vehicle itself won't be a true representation ,just an approximation .

Meanwhile back at the Abarth Crew...

First set of figures currently in re-modelling, so here are three of the second set. The guy in the middle is the map-reader/timer without the map (he has his map now).

Really good Leo, like the badges the crew have and love the beard , modelled or just painted on ?  I'm amazed how well they fit in other walks of life I'm now looking for others to use 

All the best Steve.

Yo Steve, 
Overalls are a bit shiny so will coat them with matt varnish.  Beard is basically because the head moulding has a sort of wide jaw look. Also I like to have some diversity in the figures and am even going to try to give a guy a pony-tail. 


My career was in Further Education where diversity was an area to be considered, so Scuderia Turini has female mechanics.

My painting department has gone on strike. This is the current queue but she is holding out for a wage increase before doing them.
