OK then chaps,as I said previously,I wanted to try and get a bit of a "well used" look, anyway,the build is complete,here are some pics,in no particular order,to prove it......








Pics taken on my phone,but you get the idea. Thanks to all who commented or just looked in, it's appreciated :smiling3:

Hello mate,
Sorry I have completely missed this up till now. That is a great result something completely different from the normal finishes.

Thanks Scottie,the green streaking didn't come out quite as intended, but I kinda like it!

That is a superb finish, Andy. It looks as if it has just landed after an arduous patrol.

Hello Andy,
Sorry to have just caught up.
That was a great build.
Sadly the instructions lead you to believe the upper surfaces were 'Olive Drab' in colour, but they were in fact a streaked finish set at 45degrees.
You can 'rescue' your finish by using a flat brush to streak a lighter 'Olive Drab' going from top right to bottom left like the image below...

This is overdone, but the idea is there.
Sorry to be a pain.
Mike.

[The Smythe Meister]

Not being a pain at all Mike!! Always glad for pointers.
This build is "done" now though,but I will bear that in mind for future,thanks again :thumb2:.

That's a result to be proud of Andy. It does indeed look very fragile.
