Simon
I really like the looks of the canvas tarp and seats very convincing

 

[SimonT]

Thanks Lee :thumb2:

Terrific results so far! I'm sorry Simon but I'm too heavily invested in 1/87 scale (500+) unbuilt kits and counting.:thumb2:
Cheers, Rick H.

Great start on the paint work MrT. You certainly cant tell there was a mishap on the roof new. Great save. Looking forward to seeing the finished article:thumb2::thumb2:

 

[SimonT]

Rick - :smiling: I know what you mean, I have a similarly large stash of 76 & 72nd

Jim, Si, Scottie, John, Steve - thanks all. Trying hard to get my painting and finishing a bit better - it has always been a bit of a necessary evil as I prefer the building stage

made a start on highlighting the track assemblies - still very much WIP

:thinking:hmm, looked better at normal scale as usual - large blow up doesn't do it any favours

 

[Steve Jones]

It's looking okay from here Mr T. I know blown up 1 72 scale photos don't always do the builds justice. However I do find its a good source of pointing out those glaring mistakes I make. I hope you have had a chance to move this one on a bit more.:thumb2:

 

[SimonT]

Steve - I have been managing to do some more on this one in the background, see what you think......

Great work Simon,,, don’t know how you build with such detail at that scale...hats off to you on this one for sure...great painting / weathering

 

[Steve Jones]

Spot on Mr T. I would be very pleased with that look. Just be careful that purple and orange octopus doesn't gobble it up!

 

[Jim R]

Hi Simon
It looks rather good to me. Methinks you are too dismissive of your painting abilities. Agree with Joe about the level of detail.

You've been out cruising Stalin's highways from the looks of it. Really nice effect I think the weathering is spot on. :thumb2::thumb2:
Cheers, Rick H.

 

[Andy Belsey]

Just spotted this, and you've got paint on it already! Great to see you doing what you do so well!
Andy

 

[Lee Drennen]

Very nice weathering

 

[Si Benson]

Coming along nicely Simon. I like your mud....looking good:thumb2:

 

[Mickc1440]

Some seriously nice work on this one, weathering looks spot on.
