you can see that It's pretty beat up and a dog chewed the anti-tip over. A wheel (cleaverly hidden on Ebay pics is busted)...

Primer coat I used a similar color with the same properties as the Hammertone to help in color depth

Hammertone I worked out a method of application and tinting, thinning, to get the stuff to do what I wanted it to do.

Positively and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I just will never know how you did it! I still haven't located a good paint for my A-W 77, however...I might just have to deal with it and get something that is not exactly right. Oh, well! ~~K~~ | ||

Crevicetool, I am impressed....very impressed! It came out gorgeous, you do beautiful work. I am amazed at the paint job, the color of the paint, and the fact it was done with a brush and not sprayed. | ||

Wow, Those shelves seem to be bowing from all the weight!! I was always curious how Lux did the lettering, right now I'm just painting it in, wiping off the excess, and clear coating over it. | ||

Restorations Wow, you're a talented guy! The Lux looks like it just came out of the box. I'm sure it's a very rewarding experience, even though time consuming. Have you ever restored/painted a model G? | ||

Rick: I figured you already knew something about Hammerite even if it wasn't what you'd used. Were you able to use a stock Hammerite colour, or did you mix? | ||
