Mike Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'd play the gloss varnish by ear... sometimes it can make metallics look less realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Very nice Dave, as Mike said about the stand and varnish, I'd leave it and not bother with the gloss. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelman182 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 She looks stunning! Great job done there, Dave. Worth all that long slog, I reckon (hope you do, too!). I've decided not to get one, though. I'm getting so little done right now that I'd probably only end up sitting looking at it in the box and wondering why I bought it! LOL! I concur with Mike and Dads203 about the base colour, I'd forego the varnish. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go with the gloss varnish in the end as can be seen in the RFI picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
