Welcome to my Aztecing page, page 3. I promised to list the materials I used in creating the Aztecs. First and foremost I utilized Aztec Dummies templates. Lou is an all around great guy with a fantastic product.
The templates were applied to the entire secondary hull, pylons, and warp nacelles in random order over a thorough coating of a custom pearl blue mix.
To create the custom mix, I used Model Masters flat white, and Wasco irridescent paint. In a 2 ounce jar, I mixed 1 full bottle of MM flat white. I added 10CC water, and 18CC Irr. Blue. The more Irr. blue you add, the less subtle the patterns will be.
I let the paint dry for a week and then begin the most dreaded task of removing the templates. I use a few patterns I cut out of frisket to spray the next layer of patterns in Irredecent Red.
The second layer is also extremely subtle and compliments the blue layer quite nicely.
What you can not see in the above picture is how nicely the red layer compliments the blue. A very nice complex pattern is in the making. I will cover the primary hull in the next update.
