Great looking wood grain, Terri.  You're developing an effective technique for this.
Nice detailing on the other bits, too.

[GazzaS]

That looks great, Terri!

Hi Ken and Gaz , thanks for checking in    Ken , it seems to work very well for me . I have tried oils before but never had much luck with them so acrylic it is !

Not much progress today but I did manage to finishing masking the areas of the tail feathers framework . White will get sprayed next .

Thanks Rick  I sprayed the last coat of white last night and things are now drying . Can now make a start of finishing the detail part and then it's off to decals

Terri, this is unbelievable!
I was only some days offline and not a month ... and you have this bird nearly done

I think I don't like what I see. Because I wanted to plate this kit with real wood. But if I see you wood simulation I think my real-wood-bird would not look better, so I may paint mine too.

Don't get me wrong, your wood looks great!

Cheers,
Frank

Hi Frank ,

Yup , she is getting close to being finished , but still far off . I don't think you would have any issue painting the wood effect when you start your build . From what you have shown us with your skills ...it's very impressive work !

Here is what the tail feathers will look like once the are finally glued in place . I do need to repair a hinge on the right side ... not sure what happen but it is a very easy fix . I tried to take better photo's of the wood effect .

Tail feathers look great but the woodwork is the real star of the show for me. Just brilliant!
