Looking extremely good Pete, I really like your wood grain with varying shades, it looks very realistic, and the truck looks good also.

What a great looking bird. You've done Jasta 5 justice with this one!!! How are you going to work the truck into the scene?

Spectacular all around Pete! Your woodgrain panel effect is really, really well done, as is the engine. The chipping effect looks convincingly real to my eye. Just the right amount in my opinion. Can't wait to see more. Nice job on the converted truck too.

Cheers,

Chris

Outstanding work so far, Pete.  It's nice to finally see that lovely Renault put to use.

  Pete,
Outstanding project my old friend. Highly impressive wood work too. It's good to see the old Renault truck again still as excellent as ever.
Highest Regards,

What a great match up that'll make. I've been waiting for someone to do that very thing. Good on you Pete. With your gifts it will be a Cracker Jack joining.  ;D

Pete,
    Let me just say "WOW"!  Absolutely beautiful and master class results, you are a very skilled modeller. The wood graining is superb, the engine a jewel, and the chipping effect is very realistic. I look forward to the views of the finished product; she's a winner!
Cheers,
Lance

That's got to be the coolest wood I've seen.  I also really like the chips and such on the metal parts.  Very realistic indeed!

Keep rolling and rigging... 8)

Thanks Dan, rigging finished, on to the last stages now.

Thanks Michael, the exhaust is a Tigermodels resin exhaust, sprayed with Vallejo Model Air Mud Brown (71037), then a light brush with MIG Pigments Ashes White and the end of the exhaust brushed with MIG Pigments Smoke.

Cheers
