Painting plastic propellers
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2020 12:35 pm
Hi folks!
Mark here with another little pandemic isolation project. I felt some of my propellers just didn't fit the look of some planes I have, so i pulled out the paint and attempted to make them look like a wooden prop.
I first started with a dark basecoat and added some black lines to start simulating the gain and laminate.
Next, out came the airbrush to start adding lighter layers of paint.
After I was happy with the color, I lightly brushed in some darker "grain",
Then, again I added more light paint to blend everything.
To finish, overcoat with some pledge floor gloss to protect the paint and give the color some pop.
There you have it! One "wooden" prop that I'll probably cry about when it breaks from a nose over. Hahaha
Take care guys!
