No thank you ,I dont own any factual reference books but am in possession of some nice glossy modeling/ technique books not to copy but they do help you go in the righ direction and the pictures are inspiring ,lots of people lose faith in this hobby because they can't understand why theirs won't come up to what they see else where ,I've been there but have learnt to not be daunted by what I see others do just take inspiration from it.

The same as Tim has inspired me to get figure painting i dont suppose ill come up to what the lads on here knock out but hey they've inspired me to give it a go.

David,
their are some superb modellers including yourself each having their strength and weaknesses and individual styles that are instantly recognizable. That is what makes this hobby so good learning from each other and hopefully improving our own work as a result.

The weathering on the bike continues, I have added some wear and chipping.






This part also received a burnish with graphite to hopefully show the constant wear of being stepped on getting in and out of the sidecar.



The saddles were painted with oils to try and represent leather.



thanks for looking
Scottie

This is just so impressive - every step done beautifully. I love the wear - really bold placement of the scratches, but looking completely natural. I guess doing that takes some nerve?

Paul, thank you I'm glad it looks natural that is what I aim for. Not sure about nerve it's hopefully knowing when enough is enough and try putting the wear in the right places where it would occur.

I just felt the temptation would be to put tiny random scratches everywhere (a common practice in miniature painting), rather than placing a few big wear patches accurately. Looks great!

Paul bang on at this scale no prisoners are taken ,from my perspective you've got that paint patina absolutely there the chips and scratches are a great complement one doesn't work without the other absolutely beautiful. Dave

Wow Scottie this is a real work of art, the weathering so far is unreal

[colin m]

Amazing work Scottie. To detail at this level, you must have the patience of a saint.
