Pete in Lincs Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Love it. And the scratching in the interior is very good indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 Thanks pete, would have probably been wise to have started this in september or october maybe to cram a bit more in , i did get a ready salted crisp box done and painted ,but, the last minute beer fridge hogged too mutch room ,and it didn't look right on the shelf beneath , the mcewan's export and tennants super cans can be seen cooling in the fridge, got to be honest the decals at that size defeated me ,so i had to blob some paint on , your comments, advice, and technical help have been superb, a short but fun build,should only be another few days or so fingers crossed👍thanks again, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Thanks colin, I finished the decals last night , and I'm happy! , tonight I've given them a dab of micro sol, due to the corrugated body they weren't easy at all to apply, but i really can't fault the decals one bit , robust, glossy, a little stretchy, but they didn't break at all, after a satin coat tomorrow I'm going for a restrained weathering ,also I'm thinking christmas morning i might not hand this over 😋 ,time could to be a bit of an issue too 🤯, photos tommorow Cheers all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Decals and a "restrained" weathering (ok i admit i got carried away ) I've only just done the weathering so it'll need a fettle when the oils are a bit drier, a few bits to add now , doors ,side mirrors ,lights and wheels, and a bit of minor painting with the brush ,and another blow over with a matt mixed with satin finish , hopefully post the finished article next couple of day, mucky van isnt it 🤗 Cheers all 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbdesignart Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 You're brave putting it near a log burner with all that alcohol on board😉😁 The subtle weathering, especially compared to the real thing which looks a complete rust bucket, does look rather impressive. Can't wait to see it finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Very very close to not making it,there are skeletons aplenty in the closet, but for a 4-5 weeks build, its passable from 2.5feet Thanks to all who've commented and liked, the restrained weathering idea went out of the window Cheers all see 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
