Bullbasket Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It's been a long and fascinating journey with this build Rich, but it was all worth it in the end. Brilliant work. Now, how about something simple, such as a scratch built model of the Eiffel Tower?? John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy349 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 An excellent build with such detail and you have nailed that horrid blue colour to a tee. One tip for the future with the rust and weathering washes, the surface seems to have been slightly glossy at the time of application giving uneven coverage. I find giving the model a light coat of matt spray varnish the day before really helps and adding a tiny drop of noninnic surfactant* to break the surface tension of the "wash" liquid really help it flow to all areas without it forming droplets. (* I use a 00 bush to add a single brush load of cheap screen wash {for monitors and tv not cars} to my wash mix. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Fantastic. Outstanding. Congratulations on this. 🎉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Another stunner there Rich. Always a pleasure to watch your build unfold. The finial result looks the business. It almost needs something for scale as it doesn’t really show quite the size of her. Nice level of rust, mud and general grime too. Looking forward to the next one All the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
