Revised Photos -Yaks Airfix scorpion 1/76 , Beowulfs little armour GB

Well after some feedback I decided to try and give the tiny scorpion a wash to accentuate the details . Initially I didnt do this for fear of it looking very mucky so the first lot of pics I did were in a 'just whitewashed' condition . Anyways I have now given it an oil wash ,which has highlighted some detail and also toned down the white quite a bit, eagle eyed viewers will notice the absence of the machine gun on the mantlet , a victim of the cotton bud ! heres the pics and heres a link to the first set https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...mour-gb.32217/ cheers tony

Great work Tony, that bit of grime really brings the detail out.

Hi Tony
Looks great. The last two photos were a bit of a shock - that sure is tiny which makes the result even more impressive.

Blimey! I didnt realise it was that small! Wonderful work Tony. The wash has certainly made a difference.

Scary how small it is! Cracking build Tony.:thumb2:

I've no idea how I missed this little gem! That's a cracker Tony.

How did you stop the paint 'wicking' along the grills at the front?

Thanks guys , Dave i painted the white first then when i did the black a little did wick along the grille louvres but i wasnt bothered as i was going to give them a black wash after anyway. Plus brush painting gives you a bit more control as the paint is unthinned, cheers tony
