Thank you so much Monica, you know how it is, it's all a learning curve and sometimes you just know you could have done better, they can't all be gems but I'm happy with her

Thanks much SI, I appreciate that

 

[dougie]

could not agree more,and I do it a lot to my shelf,and try never to make the same mistake in my eyes,over and over,

 

[grumpa]

Looks nice to me, I like the subtle finish

Thanks Dougie, yeah sometimes I have to force myself to rough them a bit for different scenarios, I dunno, I'm just weird that wayo_O

 

[takeslousyphotos]

That's a cracking job Jim.......... I like it matey.

 

[flyjoe180]

How many models do you build and think I really could have done btter only to look at them a year or two later and not see the problems you were so annoyed about. That's a great looking T55 Jim, it looks subtly dirty and used. Will look very good on a diorama.

Thanks Joe, I guess we all go through the same thing at times, I usually dress them up quite a bit with a lot of stowage and then sometimes I don't fell like getting too bogged down with it, all depends on mood I guess...Thanks again for your always kind words............Jim

 

[grumpa]

This is great Jim nice restrained finishing, I like it.

Thanks Steve, Funny, but I don't feel restrained when I'm weathering , each one comes out a bit different, I don't like overdone pieces I feel it's an attempt to hide other deficiencies, just me I guess, but who am I to judgeo_O...............Jim
