Daves Italeri Staghound Mk1

[BBdave]

A little more progress this week but things have been busy as I've been getting a boat ready for sale.


Opinions on the painting greatly received I'm a little concerned I lost my way and messed it up.

Dave dude mate, you didnt mess it up at all, infact it looks perfect to me, the preshading has given it that worn look and the little weathering paint youve done on the drum looks good. 


The tools, and stowage are done very well mate. All looks great to me, nothing to worry about. 

[Ian M]

Jep nowt wrong with that! Far from it it is looking very good.

Whether by accident or design, the varied tones & shades really add to the realism Dave, just as I'd expect a weather-beaten vehicle to look like.

Nice one Dave.


Just a neutral observation chaps......


As the fenders were separate from the main body, would there not be a gap or at least a demarcation 'line' between the two surfaces?

I've edited my previous post to withdraw the offending remark

[spanner570]

Patrick....It's not a question that, as you wrote  'I know nothing'. I was simply writing that there could possibly indeed be some sort of 'line' between the body of the vehicle and the detachable fenders.


I was only trying to help and possibly add to your knowledge of this type of vehicle.


i really don't understand your reference to 'The offending remark' I really don't.

Fair enough Ron, I'm sure you know a lot more than me about this type of vehicle.


I merely tried to alert Dave to the possibility of there being a gap that might need covering up. The fact that said gap wasn't of a consistent size along its length led me to believe it wasn't there by design.


I don't want Dave's build to be full of extraneous posts, so I'll decline to take any further part

Do you mean where they join the hull?  I could run a thin black wash in there to show a join line the same as a panel line.

Yes Dave, but It's up to you what you do and what you are happy with. As my good Cyber Buddy Patrick points out, the stowage would cover it up anyway.


Ron

[BBdave]

I'm now loading her up I've tied the rear stowage on I used proper truckers hitches even !

Ron

There's lots of stowage going on so hopefully it'll be covered.

Right O I have been playing with some Flory washes all new to me but I quite enjoyed using them and might get some other colours. I just need to get a crew now and make a base.

Looking good Dave, this really is coming along a treat, the stowage really does set it off.

[BBdave]

I'll have to call this done I'm moving house so can't see me getting any time to do more this year so it'll be on hold till next year. I'm not sure if there is a place to post completed GBs .
