You must have been very young to have started drinking then !

Paul, I notice you use Klear, giving a gloss finish to use the oils on, Steve in his post mentions mat varnish I've tried gloss and mat varnish , the pin washes flow slightly better of course with the gloss but not as fast as I've seen on videos on U tube . Is this gloss v mat just a personal choice ?

[Steve Jones]

Its because he gets larger thick white envelopes from Klear. Whereas I only get small thin brown envelopes from Windsor Newton. Don't tell anyone as you may find a horses head in your bed tonite.

P.S I was bottle fed JD and coke from an early age

 

[Strenko J]

I’m with the rest of the guys ..let’s pop a few of those beers open to celebrate some fantastic work going on here with your build. I think the stowage and tarps look great..keep it coming

Hi John, I think it must be I use the clear to seal the decals when they have dried, the advantage I find rightly or wrongly that if I do make a mistake having a gloss surface gives you the opportunity to wipe it off where as the matt it is harder to remove. But I do make a lot of mistakes.

If I am the shorts wearing postman is intercepting them

Unless you can see anything I have missed and I'm sure there is lots this is pretty much done. These will be the last pictures on here. If anybody wants anymore I will post some in finished armour.

Next I will be starting on the base so the next stage will be in dioramas under construction so hope to see you there.

Anyway enough of the waffle the wheels have been added, and the chassis and body weathered.

Many thanks for the very generous comments and support along the way.











Cheers
Scottie

Thanks Joe, really glad you stayed with it and the kind comments.

Afternoon Paul,

She turned out a real beauty and your work just gets better and better buddy!!! In the fourth pic, I think the stowage looks fantastic with the colors you used. The tarp roll looks especially realistic. If I could find a fault, it might be, depending on what time of the year, a little more dust on the accessories and/or in the corners. Then again, if it's in the Spring or Fall, disregard my bla bla....

Prost auf Dich
Allen

Allen good to see you my friend, Glad you like the clutter. It is still waiting its final dusting I do this when it gets added to the base so it blends in but you may be right it may need some more

 

[Jim R]

Hi Scottie
A really first class model. The build, the detailing, the painting - you've cracked it. Allen is right, your work does get better and better. Enjoyed this and looking forward to the dio.
