STAGE 3...
We can really start to see some progress now - with some of the blue added its all starting to come together. Ive had to do the blue in 2 stages starting with the top. I airbrushed this part..once again - same technique with the clear templates. The colour match i got im really pleased with, its such a good match. But with the blue now in place it looks so much better
The rest of the PF i decided to do by brush - its a process of slowly building up the colour with a thin paint - i want it to soak in and really grip the PF, but starting with the side
Ive taken 2 pics of each part - one with the flash and one without. i find that with the flash any colour difference stands out better, but without is what the eye will see.
heres with the flash
And so through the PF we go with a sable brush
Now heres the reason why this is done in 2 parts - the blue at the bottom of the PF does not match the blue at the top - they are two different shades and so ill complete to where i can with the paint ive mixed and then "corrupt" it to match the colour at the bottom. This is a common problem and its really due to the linseed finish being more yellowed by the apron, but you can see here that the colours dont blend well
Once again - with flash
Its not a big issue with a Playboy PF due to the design - i can pretty much completely restore 90% of the PF and then do the bottom last.
Its only the 3rd day of progress ( im ignoring the day i wiped all my work!) but ive broken the back of this PF and so far, im really pleased with the results
