Hi Guys,
does this go in the LAB, maybe...
well i wanted to make a panel look like this

so I had ago, it's not bad, as you see from my pics I engraved and filled the brass, and this looked yummy all shiny. then I sat the panel in Acid, and thats what turned out, but with playing with the amount of dirt/grease on the panel pre acid affects how it looks in the end, so i need to play more with that, and maybe try different acids...who knows...I can also get the white to be perfect white, just depends on what you use to fill, The red is high gloss paint, so that buffs right up, where as the white here was a hard wax, and that takes some of the dirt for a really battered look, but using high gloss paint would fix that..
the second RED Fairchild turned out much better than the first as i thinned the paint and used my FLo-Pen...looks nice and even now..
all good fun though..
