[Guest]

Ole, Ian, Colin & Aaron thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me! A little more has been done, the 2nd pass of chipping on the hull is complete & I'm happy with the results....

Really nice work Patrick.......like Ian's Lancaster the time is looming when it's trashing time......

It's a real pity to see both models ending up wrecked, but such is the sacrifice for signing up for this S.I.G.!

Cheers,

You're right Ron, the further along I get the sadder I am to have to damage it! But as I'm not sure where said damage etc is going, I thought it best to build the kit as I would any other.

Apart from adding filters, it's pretty much ready to feel the loving caress of Mr Dremel!

Thanks Ian. I tried the sponge chipping but I didn't like it, not enough control, so went back to my trusty hairy stick!

[Guest]

Starting to get that abandoned, weather-worn look coming through.

Wow has this been brush chipped? The rust effects are subtle and look wicked. Im with Mobear i love it too =)

[Guest]

Thanks Ole & Aaron! I started trying the sponge chipping method but went back to using a small brush. It's more time-consuming, but the extra control makes it worth it!

Cheers

Awesome weathering,looking forward to seeing more! The subtle color blend on the fender edges are perfect!

[Guest]

Any updates on this one Patrick?

[Guest]

Unfortunately not Colin, my muse seems to have deserted me for the minute... hopefully I'll come up with a picture of how I want it to look soon!

Cheers
