* UPDATE*



​

Here is an update regarding the jetty. AB grey with black highlights then toned down with more grey, number 2 stencilled on each side and then weathered to tone down. Green tones added for algae growth to bottom, scratch made telegraph pole added tilted away from from blast damage. Base cut and painted waiting for silicone when other parts made. I also messed around with some real epoxy and real motor oil, just a drop to see of it would rainbow, it didn't, but emulsified with the epoxy in a white mix, useful though for something lol-shall keep faffing on this one.

More to come!

Cheers mate, a few more weathering bits to add to the jetty and then it is done, then there is some jerry cans, oil drums, the packs and weapons you gave me to add. Then the children to add, already given them a dark coat of grey-once dry I will highlight in light grey.
