Looking really great thus far - your usual high standard of workmanship on display again.

Couple of questions, please Pete -

How did you make up a cushion for the seat?- that looks perfect. I think it's a bit of a shame WNW don't provide one in these kits. I would like to know how you achieved that for my future builds;

and

What colour wash did you use around the fuel tank?- really effective what you have done there.

Regards

Hi Dave;

Thanks for the comment.

I made the cushion from Milliput filler, a blob of it, thinned down then cut to the shape of the seat, I made the indentations for the buttons with a cocktail stick, then stuck some 1mm bolt heads in the indentations for the buttons, when all was well dry I finished shaping it with sand paper and gave it a coat of Saddle Brown paint.

For the wash around the fuel tank I used Raw Umber oil paint, then just using White Spirit pulled the runs where you want them. HTH

Cheers

Pete.

Looking good, Pete -

I used 'burnt Sienna' on mine, what colour oil paint are you using?

Hi Dave;

I'm using a mixture of Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna and Burnt Umber on mine.
