Well it is finished. Glad too, hardly any room to work on it and I have had severe issues with my hands and legs.

I wasn't sure regarding the light strip, as the build thread guys pointed out-it could have been two. But, it seems to have worked okay.

I used, Aquacolour acrylic metalgrey for the inserted panels, and a basic black oil wash that was dragged using cosmetic foams. Then I used raw umber in places and again dragged. I also used acrylic aluminium, smoke pigment for the scorch marks on top of the aluminium, this was sponged, dragged and blended using my finger. I also used a sandstone pigment to show dust/muck. The whole thing was then sealed in matt varnish. I could have done more or less but I am happy with it. In fact Moni, this will be last build for a while, no more models to do, but these large builds have really hurt me, I have suffered with severe hand/arm cramps and am having pains in my legs, think it is rest time.

Glad you like it, enjoyed it immensely but never again, just have to sell it now.

Well done, that is amazing, and as a newbie I am just astonished at how great it looks. Can you tell me how long it took you. It probably would take me a month just to read the instructions! Great stuff, now rest up.
