Thanks guys 

I really like using the pencil crayons for the effect or even just to add some highlights really brings the effect to life . Also very pleased on how the panel lines turned out . There is only a few on the mouldings , all the rest is done with pencil crayon and Tamiya smoke . will be trying this again in the future . More progress will be coming soon

Hi Terri!
Great work all around! Fascinating wood effects, thanks for showing us. I should give it a go at some point, I think. I find it difficult to get the crayons to stick to the surface, but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and need to re-read your thread here.

Good luck with the next steps!

Hi Fredrik , thanks for looking in 

The pencil crayons work best on a dull surface . They will not stick or work well on a gloss surface at all and can't blend the shades together for different effects , they end up getting removed  . So if starting with a gloss surface shoot a light dull coat or use flat base paints .

Thank you Roberto , that is a very kind comment . Big hug !

Detailing paint is almost finished up just a few items still left to do . Exhaust which I haven't even started cleaning up yet and the gun still awaits as well . Decaling can start tomorrow and maybe even a bit of weathering . I did forget to drill the rigging holes in the wings so will have a go at that as well . So here is the state of the build now .
