Thanks moni and pete glad you like it.

I like this. It gives you something to think about, is it a 1950/60's workshop? Or is it a modern workshop that just restores and works on old cars? There are clues if you look. The vehicle is a lovely shade of blue, and the setting looks great. Nice one Ken.

That came out really sharp Ken! One tip I was given on here about painting lips on figures ,use the color of the face mixed with a tiny bit of red to paint the lips,it give's a more natural look. That is unless of course your mechanic figure just happens to be secure enough in his manliness to wear lip stick.j/k. Really a great looking finish on that ,very nicely done Sir!

[Guest]

That is stunning. You've done an amazing job.

[Guest]

Like the complete numpty that I am, I stored my varnish Which is in a lovely heavy tin just the right size to destroy a model if dropped on it , right above a very delicate fragile model (it carried on its decent to damage a few others on its way not that I care about those) snapped a couple of the guns off the side of the La Reale but easy fix. lesson to you all, NO MODELS BELOW ANYTHING HEAVY ENOUGH TO BREAK THEM .

[eddiesolo]

Awe...crappo Ken... Shame as it was one of your best mate, lovely workmanship and the colour was sublime.

Mate, I saw the first pics and was mightally impressed, panned down a bit a saw the result that a tin of varnish can do, even ronseal couldn't have predicted that.


It certainly is lesson learnt for all that read this.


I had this kind of thing happen to me a few years back, I had temporarily boxed a variety of my aircraft builds in a cardboard box because we were moving, I stupidly placed the box in a cupboard on a shelf under a shelf containing boxed up books........upper shelf gave way and......well the rest is self explanatory. (Or shelf explanatory! )


Sympathy to you mate.
