Hi Kreston.

The figure it's very nicely done and the D.II it's quite amazing.

Top build there!

Cheers

The Fokker is looking great with its wings on! Your figure is looking superb!

Hello Kreston - bit late to the party here I am afraid! Just like to say very impressed with this one. Can I ask that when you weather with oils what do you use to dilute them with? I ask because a couple of times recently mine has dried with a slight glossy finish - this was using artists white spirit.
Regards

Andrew

Thanks Andrew.  Not sure of the brand name but I use an Oderless Paint Thinner.  After the oils dry I spray with Testors Dullcote.

Hi Kreston,

Liking that - the figure is superb! Can I borrow it?
