Great job on the engine, Michael.  The oily/greasy
treatment looks just right.  Looking forward to the
next update.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Looks just right to me too. I like that weathered aluminium look.

Michael, I neglected to mention how much I like your wood effects in
the cockpit.  How did you come up with that look?  The cockpit as a whole
is looking first rate!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

once again many thanks for the kind words guys i'm blown away by them  :)

Steve for the metal tones i have been using mr. metal colours all the rest are tamiya.

Ernie, the wood look is the basic look described on here loads of times - it's where i learned it  ;)

basically i paint the part in a buff colour e.g tamiya deck tan - leave to dry, then brush over some burnt umber oil paint then get a fairly stiff brush and run it over the oil paint to create the wood grain effect. then leave to dry which can be the worst part as it takes ages  ;D

hope that helps you Ernie

cheers
