Painting Trucks

7/27/2010

My Brockway CMSC pontoon bridge cranes and Roco cranes being painted. I always use spray and air brush paints outside, in daylight. I do most of my painting in the summer when the humidity is low.

Generally, I don't prime plastic models that are being painted a color similar to the plastic color.


In this case the CMSC are resin and white metal so I when ahead and primed the Roco too. I figured it would give a more uniform color to the three vehicles.


The three trucks with the basic OD green overall.



The trucks are sitting on a bit of cardboard. I like to use a clean surface that is disposable when I paint. That way I don't have to do much clean up.
