Oh my god, It turned out fantastic!!!!!

A lighter overspray from the top is very effective. Must keep that in mind. Thanks Patrick

Thanks Aaron, I find the overspray adds a little depth to the model & gives it a ' used ' look. I use yellow or flesh to lighten greens & browns, rather than white.

Thanks Ian, to be honest, it's a shame to wreck it! But it must be done!

Cheers

It's actually looking that good for, as you imply, a cheapo crappy model ... that i would be tempted to finish the build normally, put a little scratch on the turret and call it "phew.. that was close"

[Guest]

Haha nice one Colin, or a crewman with his hair parted by a near-miss!

A bit more progress... Added a couple of coats of the new Klear

I've found it to be much more runny & cloudy than the old stuff but it seems to have worked ok....

Only the washes, filters & chipping to go before I can start the process of making it look burnt-out!

Cheers

Then the 1st chipping stage

Now, there's no actual damage as yet. In fact, there won't be much at all, it's more about showing the rusty, burnt-out look. So as I haven't made anything for over a year, I thought I'd refresh myself on certain techniques even though much of it will be covered over by the end.

Anyway, as ever, thanks for looking

Cheers

Patrick

This one sort of got away from me. You have made a good job out of that "cheap" kit. It will be a shame to wreck it, but as you wrote it will be a rust bucket and not a write off.

Its looking good so far.

This makes me grin ear to ear what a fun job you have ahead of you Patrick, Especially to be let loose on a wonderful canvas =)

[Guest]

I say again "silk purse out of a pigs ear"

You keep them techniques coming, a few of us can learn a thing or two as you progress ..thanks.
