The Wildcat is looking fantastic Stix, and that base looks like it will work a treat, especially knowing how good you are with a brush!

Thank you very much Craig - you are most kind.

 

Well I have now managed to get the Wildcat finished. First off the filler 'sea' on the base was painted and then given a couple of coats of Pledge:

Then I got the Perspex clear rod bent to shape, fitted in the base and Wildcat and this was the result:

Kind regards,

Awesome, simply awesome!

Exactly the kind of result we have come to expect from a Stix build, the sea base turned out really well, not overstated at all.

I like the angle the Wildcat is at too.

Very well done mate.

Hi Craig. You are always too kind, thank you. :thumbsup:

Hi Stix, I have just read through you build and picked up so many useful hints and tips. As a fellow brush painter, you work has shown me what is possible. Great build dude. 

Hi Hockeyboy and thank you for your comments. You are most kind.
