I've finished the engine and have given it a coat of paint, though it definitely needs another coat.

If I remember correctly I did it in copper then put some brass on top of that.

Alrighty I need advice now, I've been working on the wings now and I'm unsure how to flesh them out a bit rather then just have a flat coat of it (though I'm stretching the term flat, I am using brushes). Any suggestions?

I dry brush some ground up pastel sticks of almost the same colour into the gaps between the ribs.  Alternatively paint over with a very thin coat of almost the same colour, then gently sand to blend the two - either way gives more depth to the colour.

I am sure the others here will give better advice!

Also, what you could try is take your basic wing colour, add a little white, to just lighten it a bit, dilute it down, then brush between the ribs, you could even do it 2 or 3 times to get the effect you want, don't forget subtle is better than stark.

I tried your method Ian, it has yet to be perfected by me, but its the best paint job I've done, thanks!

  N.C.S.E,
Ian has given you very sound advice my young friend.Not only that but well worth your time to prefect this technique. As you read through the threads here you'll see many outstanding projects that  the same basic technique has been used . Just remember to take your time and not rush, learn the different techniques involved and never be afraid to experiment. I've every faith you have the makings to become a true Master of our shared hobby.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
