discussion Langy's Stolly..... Airfix 1/35 Alvis Stalwart

Made a start on a bit of weathering,

I'm a bit annoyed that the tyres despite a heavy sanding session to hide the seams has 'ghost seams', I might have another crack at them or just go with it and lay down some more crud to hide it.

Most parts have now been fitted....(all the small easily breakable bits), and currently I'm about to start on a figure or two for this as well as a small dio to make the 'mud effects' a bit more 'viable' on the build.

Looking good. The mud effect works really well.

Nice mud, I like the difference in color effect (dry/wet) cheers

Looking good mate the mud is very effective. It's to late now but I find a good rub with a scouring pad like scotchbrite (other names are available) are very good for cleaning up tyres and for general use.

Thanks buddy, I'll remember that tip.

I might even give them a bash... the weathering on the tyres can be replicated afterwards.
