Keep telling you - leave it alone. Matt the figures down and all will look better.
Nothing wrong with the build or the figures

Very nice work with the figures. They will add to the build not distract from it. Wonderful work sir.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

Mike, they have been matt coated, I think the shine is because I took the pics last night with lights directly on the figures.

I think they look great Bob- the trouble with posting photos is that sometimes you can obsess over details due to the ability to see everything in close-up. I generally hold them a coupLe of feet away, and if they look ok, I call them good :thumb2:

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Alistair.

You are right of course, from a distance they look fine.

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning guys, I hope everyone is well and staying sane during the lockdown.

I started the weathering yesterday. The box art shows heaving chipping along the sharp edges. I'm not sure how true to life this is but I like the look so have followed suit. This was then followed up with some dot filtering on the vertical panels to give a subtle streaking effect. I will follow up with some more localised and pronounced dirt, rain and rust streaks when the current gloss coat has fully cured.

[Steve Jones]

Another wonderful update Bob. The chipping is spot on and very realistic. Great stuff

[Jack L]

Great realism!
