   I finished this one this morning, I'll get a few more photos and comments onto "Completed Models" in an hour or so. It's nice to have her done, I must admit that a bit of my "Modelling Mojo" was starting to falter, I found it a difficult Build at times, particularly at the final stages.





 

    As I said at the beginning of the Build Log "Jess" was described as being "weathered considerably and much faded" thus I went at that pretty heavily, not too much so I hope.
Cheers,
Lance

Congratulations Lance!  Jess is another magnificent build coming out of Cold Lake.  You really
have outdone yourself on this one, considering the massive rigging job.  Your attention to
detail is quite amazing, and the weathering? Perfect!  I am in awe of your talent my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

From the sounds of things, this one took its toll on you, but holy cow, the results are spectacular!

She looks gorgeous Lance. A very used and battered bird very well portrayed. Love it.

Fantastic job, Lance. This is actually a great model. I especially like your weathering, it's just the right dose, not too much and not too less. Congratulations!
Best wishes

Hi Lance, awesome job on this one! I have to echo the comments above that you've done marvellous work on a tricky kit, and the scheme is superbly pulled off. Looking forward to seeing further pictures, and your summary in the Completed forum. Quite interested to know what you'll tackle next???
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks Gary, next is an unknown presently. I think I'll start getting at the Spring yard work, give it a little thought, and maybe seek a little inspiration at the Show in Edmonton end month!

Lance
