My Pre-V obsession may have gone too far this time...

Not easy to see unless the light hits it just right, but I decided to do a little over-painting of the lume at the edges of the indices today, you can see it pretty clearly in the 3, 6 and 12, but on the wrist it's barely noticeable.

I need to quit looking at macros of gen Pre-V dials (2nd pic shows a gen example of the over-painting).

Dial lume isn't as yellow looking outdoors with no AR 4fc1d916.gif

Lovely work. The "sloppy" work by the original Italian crew gave every pre-V piece a personality all its own.

I've tried that effect on some of the test dials, but I'm only using acrylic model paint, so it's probably much easier than what they had to work with.

I use Tamiya's paints. The key with using acrylics is laying down the paint in one stroke since it sets up pretty quickly.
