Ken as done a superb job on this model. He hasn't knackered the kit at all. The whole point of modelling is to get enjoyment from what you are doing and to achieve the look you desire. What you mean is from your point of view you would build it differently, and who's to say that from kens point of veiw a pristine version built isnt knackering the kit in his opinion? And lets be honest, if your going to come across a citroen advant these days its going to look alot worse for wear than when it left the factory so i think as a modeler Ken is alot more skilled and accomplished than he even thinks he is. The rusting techniques used here, and the wethering has been carefully planned and executed to the highest standards and really is quite amazing.\ said:Here is the dash:

I think you're spot on, apart from the grubby worn look. Top work mate, really enjoying this come together, I let you do loads then come in a go WOW!
It is a shame to knacker a superb kit, but, it does beg for that knackered look as you have so much detail to play with. Cracking work Ken.
Not having a go Marc, my wording meaning hasn't come across well. It is a large and expensive kit that can be made to look superb and pristine, due to the size and price it can be a shame to give it that rough worn look, the detail is exquisite. I love what Ken has done, think the scope for achieving that worn look is even better in this scale and he has worked magic to create it.\ said:Ken as done a superb job on this model.

I do not like negative comments about peoples work please try to remember that this is someones hobby and their enjoyment and we must bare this in the forefront of our minds no matter what our opinions might be.
No problem Marc. Most folk would do it in a pristine fashion, due to the scale and the price but, as Ken has shown the scale lends itself magnificently to weathering and wrecking.\ said:Ahhh okay. Perhaps its me who jumped the gun then. Sorry sbout that foolish assumption. All the best
