Hi all,
I hit the wall with this one a few months back largely around the fact that I couldn’t find a suitable base colour for the suit! Finally I used black rubber which is the blue black that I was looking for and after that it was just the pinstripes ...which was actually more fun than I expected!
So as ever with the usual small tweaks to do I’m finally calling this just about finished!!

Which is probably just as well really as if the view from the modelling room is anything to go by...um just about to get snowed in!

Very, very nice Jason. The pinstripes look like they were a labour of love!

Cheers chaps... much appreciated!
The pinstripes were quite therapeutic to be honest...just one line after the other and eventually another section of the suit was finished!!
Thanks
Jason.

Hi Steve, Hi Peter... Thanks for this... found myself snowed in again so I thought i'd send a quick reply and start work on something new .. which will be another bust from the stash!
Thanks

Despite a badly misjudged attempt to matt down the suit with some Matt varnish ( which resulted in doing the pin stripes again!) I managed to have a good day at Halifax today...also good to see a few models and modellers that I’ve come across on this site and the other site that won’t be mentioned!!!
Thanks
Jason
