As we get older the word ''oops'' pops up a lot more frequently during our builds.

"Oops" is a word I may use on here to be polite, but in reality the words used at those special "moments" during the build are ones I may not use here!!

Great build so far Michael and generating lots of very useful tips!
I like the staining effect, she looks suitably mucky

Many thanks guys for the kind words

I got that oil stain effect by pure accident.

i made an oil wash of burnt umber for the staining and brushed it on but it just looked streaky and horrible.

So while i was playing around with it trying to get it to look better i stippled the wash with my brush, i thought that looks ok so i stippled all of the area i had put the wash on.

And that is pretty much it i just played about with it till i was happy with it . Like i say pure accident but a nice one for a change

thanks for looking

michael

Well done Michael! She looks all the part.

As others have noted, your weathering is excellent. Thanks for the tip, fortuitous or not! Keep up the fine work. She'll be lovely when completed.

Bob

Fantastic effects you've achieved on this, it looks very realistic. I'll be trying to copy what you've done with the oil staining.
