Hi All,
Well after a lengthy battle, I've finally managed to drag this MIG-29 kicking and screaming into a somewhat finished state. The initial build was.....testing. Everything seamed to go wrong with this one so I decided I might as well make this model look like it has been though the wars too. I tackled this model as a "if it doesn't work, who cares" model so I could experiment. This is the first time I have used oil paints to weather a model. I found it to be a really rewarding process that I can't wait to try again. Obviously it is a little rough round the edges for a first try but it just looks so much more alive than the other clean models next to it on the shelf. I also tried stone chipping via dry brushing silver and enamel washing for the first time. I think for a weathering mule, it's come up pretty nice. Who would have though a model that almost went in the bin would help me learn so much!
Thanks
