Beautiful wood effects Guy. What did you use on the metal caps and brackets? They really stand out and give the assembly a very crisp and polished look. I'm looking forward to seeing the assembled components, this is going to be a really impressive package!
Cheers,

Hello Lance, nothing special - just Vallejo Aluminium hand painted...

That is one beautiful looking float assembly guy, as I said before, the wood colour is superb, do you mind explaining what you did to achieve that particular wood colour please  :) :)

Agreed on how awesome the floats and fuselage has come out - I would also be interested in steps you took to get the smooth dark wood appearance!

Again, nothing special Des - just a mid stone base, bit of preshading then a combination of oils trying to blend in lighter areas on the open areas and darker in the recesses. Nothing specific..

Fantastic wood work. If I didn't already love the work you've done this would be the kicker.

Funny undercarriage if you ask me...

Ok, i'll bite and ask: Why funny? It looks pretty, but pretty normal to me.

Sorry Stefan - childish English humour meaning it hasn't got wheels...  :P

I do enjoy your paintwork, very nice build. I can see mine moving up a notch or two in the pile.

Pretty much finished  ;)

Just waiting on a Master Barrels rear MG - the first one came in the post squashed flat... So just a few sneaky photos prior to posting in the completed models section.

Super, super kit - I would thoroughly recommend it to all - great kit to start with due the great fit & limited rigging, but it's a really different, interesting build too.

My only teeny gripe is the wing joins to facilitate a choice between a large or small cutout at the centre rear - but only because I'm lazy...

Would you believe the seam has suddenly reappeared?! Jeeeez  ::)

My other major faux-pas was dust - there's a ton of it trapped in between the 50 layers of Klear trying to eliminate the seam and building up the gloss finish on the wings. I've dismantled my workbench area this afternoon and have been dusting/ vacuuming and wiping down as a result...  :P

Thanks for following along.. Much appreciated..
