Thank you Si I'm having fun with it, trying out some new and old ways of doing things :thinking: bit late at my age but least I've had a go.

Never too old to try something new mate.

Hi gave the hole model a second coat of Klear to seal the decals....24h and have started the weathering using oils on the side skirts, lighter colour at the top darker to bottom.
Before and after.

Hi I've had a think more like a :sleeping: and have striped what I'd already done and started again.
So added a light wash and the chipping and will let it dry overnight and then on with a dull coat tomorrow then some more weathering.

Pete,
How can you call that a stalled build????

That is an excellent piece of modelling. Think you have the right amount of "wear",
combined with the right amount of "dust".
The Minion's have done you proud.
Looks the business :thumb2: :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:.

Paul.
