Outstanding work Dave! Just world class modelling and as a fellow brush painter I'm in awe of what you have achieved with this kit.

You have shown the Roden DH2 builds into a very nice model and in fact the late Des Delatorre also made this model and liked it so much it became the image of his business card.



So your DH2 is in stellar company and my thanks for uploading your images to the Forum.

Your finish and fine detail is really inspiring and your post shading effect using pencil lines is genius and something I must try.

cheers

Thank you, Willem -

Apologies, but I did not do a build log on this as I was worried I would make a hash of it ..........

Dave - that's very kind of you to say and I am flattered .......

I knew Des had built this model although did not know he used it on his business card so very pleased you say it is good company.

Regards

I really like the dope effect for the fabric and the weathering really tie it all together  :)

Wow.

Fantastic job Dave.

I was not in a place financially to purchase WNW kits while they were in business so it's good to know the Roden DH2 stands up with a little extra effort.

I too have been leaning more towards brush painting lately.  With practice I have been getting closer to a 'smooth coat'.  Glad to see it being done.

It’s hardly excusable not to have commented before! What an outstanding job on this beautiful but nevertheless demanding kit, chapeau!
