Thank you both. I thought it looked a bit dull straight after painting but it definitely seems to be coming to life with the weathering.

Dave, with the bits & pieces pictured on the previous page I'm going to do a workshop type diorama for it. I've worked in them for over 30 years so I should be able to conjure up something fairly believable. I'd planned on doing it behind closed doors though just in case I stuff it up, but knowing me I'll get all excited and start a build thread!

Looking really good Andy. You've achieved a great 'wood effect' on the tools - something else I need to work on....

Nice goodies and paintwork Andy :thumb2:

Thanks chaps, I really appreciate the feedback.

Nick, for this it's based on something I've seen Ron / Spanner do. The vallejo wood colour is quite transparent so after a couple of light coats it was a bit patchy, but in a good way as it gave a nice non uniform finish, so I left it like that.

A couple of blobs of really thinned down brown that I was using on something else, swished about with a damp brush, and I was happy.

Thanks for that insight Andy, appreciated.

No problem Nick.

Looking really good Andy.

Thank you Tim. I've gotten a bit distracted with something else but will hopefully get some completed pics up in a day or two.

Lovely subtle finish Andy. Great looking model. Looking forward to seeing the finished article

[Gary G]

That is a nice looking model Andy.

Have to agree with everybody, in fact one of your best.
The paintwork and dust are superb.

Hi Andy
Great paint job. I know you said the modulation was not as strong as you felt it could be but the subtle weathering has worked a treat over it. The dust effects are very nice. I've not heard of that "Flat Base Rough" stuff but looks effective.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your comments and the great feedback. There are some completed pictures here.

Jim, it's just a flattening additive that they do in smooth or rough. Seems to work quite well.
