The year that I entered it in competition, it won pretty much wherever it went. The greatest compliment that I had gotten was from the President of our sister club. He asked me if I would tell people how I did it or was I going to take it to the grave. I wrote out exactly what I had done and made it available to anyone. One guy looked it over and said it can't be that easy. To this day most of the people that I encounter use Alclad just for refinishing chrome parts. They never explore what you can really do with it. As a postscript to the story, my daughter has the Viper.

The Merc album number 2 was also painted using Alclad over a Gloss Black base.

Thank you for your time and comments.
The model is in my daughters possession. I hoped that it would be an inspiration to try new ideas in her paintings.

Thank you. It was very well received when I painted it. I even printed out instruction sheets for the people who were interested in trying it.That sort of blew me away.

Thank you. The idea was inspired by an article in FineScale Modeler. The author of that article used this method to replicate a German armor idea.

I built this model in 2004. I saw an article in Fine Scale Modeler on how modelers were using fishnet stockings to replicate German camouflage of a waffle type of appearance. I primed the body and then sprayed Gloss Black enamel on the body. When dry, I slipped a fishnet stocking over the body, making sure it was taut. I then airbrushed the body with various Alclad color changing paints. The Alclad lacquer dries almost immediately. I removed the fishnet stocking and applied about ten coats of clear. Next I placed the body in a dehydrator for about a week.
This was a simple process that produced a great effect.
