Fire engine US 6 - ladder (z-scale)

Paint to your taste and assemble as seen in the picture.

I use 3 different methods how to print and paint vehicles:

• use white (or whatever colored filament) for print - apply the basic color of choice- paint the windows with black color (I typically use acrylic markers for this, e.g. Posca or Edding)
  • add the details (here I use also acrylic markers, e.g. silver (Edding is perfect) for the front
    lights)
  • to finalize apply (glossy) clear coat
    (This is my favorite method)

b) - use filament of the intended color of the model

• apply (matte) clear coat (to avoid bleeding of the colors applied later)
• paint the windows with black color (I typically use acrylic markers for this, e.g. Posca or Edding)
• add the details (here I use also acrylic markers, e.g. silver (Edding is perfect) for the front
  lights)
• to finalize apply (glossy) clear coat
  (This method is quicker, but the color options are not so numerous)

c) - use transparent filament

• apply (matte) clear coat (to avoid bleeding of the colors applied later)
• protect window areas with liquid mask, e.g. from Vallejo, before applying the further paint
• scratch off the liquid mask after the paint has dried
• add the details (here I use also acrylic markers, e.g. silver (Edding is perfect) for the front
  lights)
• to finalize apply (glossy) clear coat
  (This method gives the „most realistic“ result, but the after scratching quite a lot of detailed
