Cheers Rick. I couldn’t do anything other than U96.

Jack, U had the same with my zundapp decals they went on ok but then wouldn't stick or split trying to get them off.

Painted the carpentry.
Started the chipping process

And the oils

Maybe a bit subtle at the moment. Will walk away and have a look later.


Made the (weird, possibly stupid) decision to go through the weathering in sections. I can't face the tedium of a pinwash all over, then chipping all over, oils etc. will see if that works.

Jack,
The oil washes look excellent mate.

Interesting - let's hope it turns out to just be weird, not stupid!

thanks Scottie.

Logic is...i can find what looks good as I go and then replicate...maybe?

Taken the streaking a bit further, and I think this is the look I want. Looking for a fairly battered machine.

I had a slight nightmare...I left the pinwash too long/completely forgot about it. It's cured beyond the point of blending in on a few rivets, so will need to disguise/tone it down a bit in places.
