Liking this a lot. Great service from Archers I have used them a couple of times and never found them wanting.

Hi Steve
You know what - you're rather good at this mogglin lark :thumb2: :smiling4: :cool:
That is a method of display which I have not seen before. Rather clever. Must remember that.

Hiya mate,
Well I don’t think I could string enough superlatives together to do it justice!
Top stuff and very convincing:smiling4:
I personally like a well weathered vehicle and you’ve certainly got your technique for weathering down to a T.

I’ve seen the mirror base done for aircraft builds before but i don’t recall seeing it as you’ve done...ingenious sir.
You must be very happy...I would be:thumb2:

Steve, absolutely brilliant work, a simple base but with a twist with the mirror, such a clever idea.

Hi Everyone

Improving on every model Jim. I took the mirror idea from the planes I see on glass bases at the model shows
Speechless speaks volumes from you Peter. Many thanks
Thanks Ralph. Appreciate the support
Very happy indeed Si. Its one of my better efforts
All my builds this year will be going to Telford JR. About time I mixed it up with the big boys and see how I compare
Glad you like it Scottie. Many thanks

Hi Steve
Looks stunning. As Peter says it is very convincing. I have never had any success with hairspray for chipping - just too inconsistent. I have used the proper chipping fluids and they give so much more control and predictable results.

Steve, the detail you've put into this is utterly mind-boggling! First rate work all round. I just wish I had the time, skill and/or patience to tackle something like this.
