Been away over the weekend Terri so I have had a lot of catching up to do. You have really moved along with this one - and it is looking extremmely good from this angle. Never mind the mistakes - if they are not visible on a completed model, what do they matter?

Your Pfalz is truly lovely. The markings really bring it all together!

Thank-you Stephen and Rick  :)

Stephen , it ways it does matter to me in the in end , It showed me that some of my planning didn't work well for the next stage and I should have calculated some of the fit issues in , which I didn't . But I will say that I'm really enjoying the build so far , it has been rewarding  :)

Terri

Two interesting points of view here I think. One is that if we simply ignore the mistakes made along the way, we're unlikely to improve. The second one is that despite the mistakes made during a build, one can truly see the bigger picture in the end and enjoy the model anyway!

As a spectator the second point is more relevant I think and your Pfalz is well worth looking at!

Today was spent finishing the weathering on the guns . I use graphite for this and work it into the surface . Starting with dark to light and then sealed with clear . Prop is also finished and did a different approach for the wood . After looking a photo's there seems to a lot of variations and I like the dark varnish . I mask off some laminations and used Vellejo woodgrain stain and brushed this over giving it two coats . Once dried the tape was pulled off and a few more coats got added . Sealed that and added the prop logo's . There is no prop boss included so I use one from a Copper State boss set . A small disk was punched and piece of hex rod was added for the nut . The center of this was drill and a piece for brass tubing was fix in the center . Rest of the rigging holes are drilled and my eye lets made , assembly is next  ;)

Very nice progress!
The silver gray with the black markings looks great - nice contrast.

Cheers,
