Cheers John, I’m quietly pleased with it. It’s a winner from Airfix as far as I am concerned.Top notch Tim.

Cheers John…..kind of you.Looking very nice indeed, Tim.

As a matter of interest as a relative newbies, what are the differences between pastel chalks and pigments? I used Vallejo pigments brushed dry onto a recent model for the first time to try and add a dusty effect.Thanks Andy. It’s actually quite simple using pastel chalks on a matt surface. Only thing is it can rub off if you handle it too much…..usually enough stays behind though, and another dust is quite easy and quick to do….l
Pigments come pre ground in a pot. They are quite coarse in structure but are good for building up accretions.As a matter of interest as a relative newbies, what are the differences between pastel chalks and pigments?

Yours does look good Tim by the way.
Vallejo's are pretty fine. I have airbrushed with them a few times. Not with the 0,2 but a 0,4 manages. And if you dont shut the paint off and just close the air, When you start up again you get some rather nice splatters. I digress.

I’ve used Tamiya buff for that Ian, but that was the colour I used for the body so it wouldn’t do much in this case…..Vallejo's are pretty fine. I have airbrushed with them a few times.

I have, in the past, used a Buff Vallejo model color sprayed from about 18" that gives a nice dusty look.
Cheers Jim. I learn a lot as well…….That is looking very nice indeed Tim. As usual when people like Jakko and yourself get "chatting" I learn a lot about such things as Bridge Classification - a by product of your builds
I think the ones on Katy look a bit smoother than that Scottie….Looking superb mate. Just a suggestion for your sandmats I made some for my LRDG chevy by cutting some strips of foil the width you need then then crinkle them then roll them up.
I was going to use a piece of brass of the correct thickness and dip it into water to stop it sticking while I place the next stick…..not sure if they will look “refined” enough though…..Those mats look like sticks sewn to canvas, so not that easy to make convincingly, I would think … I think the method you suggest should work well enough, but you'll probably need to construct (or find) something to space the sticks out with correctly, else it will be very hard to get them to look right.
