Markie Smizzle Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I built this kit for a friend, and after the disastrous year for my mojo last year, the beginning of this year so far hasn't fared any better. It was built completely out of the box, and he wanted it as RAF, but my budget and lack of spares didn't allow for it, so I made it as a Joint Harrier Force pool air frame. It was a cracking kit to build from start to finish, but again, due to my low mood and lack of time, I left off the weaponry and weathering. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Looks just fine to me Mark, fwiw & imho of course, I rather like a clean simple finish like this, it also saves agonising about "have I done too much or not enough weathering".

Steve. Thanks Steve, I'm really not good at weathering anyway. My skill only really stretches to panel washes at the moment, but even with those I think less is more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 If I could produce something as nice of that with good mojo, let alone bad, I'd be very pleased. And I'm not a great fan of weathering, especially the more "artistic" forms of it, either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Seahawk, I would love to be a bit more enthusiastic really. 2015 was my most productive year, with 10 builds in total. I only managed 4 last year, and so far this year I've completed 2. Both for friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
