Keeff Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I've not posted any during build pictures of this, but completed it at last .... and the first of 2023! This is an out of box build, so nothing special and it's one being used to hone my techniques. I have taken some time on the canvas to try to make it realistic looking, it does have some highlights along the edges and where the support hoops would be aswell as some subtle shading. Weathered using mostly splashes. Thoughts? 20230121_140407 by Ran Domstuff, on Flickr 20230121_140345 by Ran Domstuff, on Flickr 20230121_140418 by Ran Domstuff, on Flickr 20230121_140430 by Ran Domstuff, on Flickr Thanks for looking!

Bertie McBoatface Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I think it looks fine. The mud splashes seem a bit too even though. I would believe it more if the splashes appeared to come from the direction of the wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bissyboat Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Very convincing effects. I suppose you used a soft tooth brush and just flicked the paint to create the speckles, right? ⚓👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did attempt to go at an angle, but with little success ..... next time eh? 🤣 Keith 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthemodeller Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 That looks great but could I offer a suggestion… a bit of masking on the windscreen for the wiper arc might just take it up a level? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
