The David Wilson Memorial Group Build 2024 / Re: 1:72 Roden SE5a

Great start. Those Roden kits are still fine, and when amended, more or less, build into fantastic models. Yours will surely be one!

A very fitting choice of subject and a great start. It's just so hard to do an OOB build......

Looking very nice indeed. I can't wait to see how you approach the vignette, as I am a huge fan of dioramas and vignettes.

Just a minor point, the barrels of the 6 inch guns were painted the same colour as the tank. I can't really tell form the photos if they have an all over metallic finish or not.....

Nice choice, I have a DVIa part started and the Roalnds are lovely kits.

I'm such a stop-start modeller that I'm hesitant about Group Builds, but if I'm ever going to do one, it's going to be for Dave W

Me too, I always build to my schedule so never participate in group builds. But this one is a must do.

Thanks Guys.
Rick - Last to be added rather than last one, I'm afraid.
There's still quite a few to build. Undoubtedly they'll see me out rather than me seeing them out!

Thank you very much for your generous comments, Dutch and Nigel, I really appreciate them!

I painted the barrels using Agama polishable metal pastes and added rust. I decided to experiment on the rust with a mixture of burnt and natural sienna. When the paint was just next to cured, I used a small stiff brush to stipple brick orange pigment into it. The result looks acceptable to me.









The bad news is I ran out of excuses for putting off the work on the vignette.



Thanks to the advice from fellow modellers I think I have finally figured out how Hyacinth got into this position, now I just have to keep studying tutorials to do this unique photo justice.

Cheers
