"Chain of Fools" by the queen of soul, Richard. Amazing details Jakko.

Looks great Jakko. Those chains are worth all the effort.

Thanks, and yes, I think you’re right. The model looked OK without the chains, but with it, it looks much better.

That hadn’t occurred to me yet, but yeah With thanks to Paul:

Those chains look wicked

Amazing details

Thanks, both BTW, painting them to look this convincing was very simple: sprayed with matt black primer (car paint from an aerosol can), then drybrushed with gun metal and finally, a wash of earth-coloured paint. That last one was the trickiest to apply, but mostly because it was a fair amount of effort rather than being actually difficult to do.

Jakko,
That looks very nice indeed the work on the chains and the details on the hull has really paid off.

Definitely worth the effort, Jakko!
'stay on target' is the standard response at work... full of star wars ubernerds!

Looks great mate…..nice song reference as well…..in the same vein I give you…..

I thought Fleetwood Mac was too obvious a reference……

[Guest]

Thanks all I’m also glad I persevered with the chains — they weren’t that bad once I started drilling out the eyes, but I would have given up if that hadn’t helped, I can tell you …

Now I just need to finish painting the crew and I’ll post pictures of the finished model.

Theres another song in the same vein by Chrissie Hynde.

Cheers,
Richard

[Tim Marlow]

Yes, but that one doesn’t have the sound effects of Jakko sticking the chains on
