[scottie3158]

Good Evening Mr. Scott,

Effective immediately, this type of moggelling must stop!!! I am still looking for words to comment on your rock ledge in the last Masterpiece as well as the vehicles...……..

You're off to a super start Buddy, please keep it going. Me, I think I'll give up moggelling and take up collecting lint balls from under my bed...…………...

Prost
Allen

Allen,
You are to kind mate. There is no need to look under the bed mate your modelling is of s great standard. the only thing is you need to do some:smiling:

Evening Scottie,
Very, very nice indeed!
I’m with Allen, if anyone wants my modelling bits they’re out on the lawn...where’s my torch....I’ll need it to find my lint balls:flushed:

Thanks mate, as I said to Allen you have no reason to hang the tools up.

Just catching up with this one ...loving the scratchery and updates with the PE and the paint job on the interior is fantastic

Brilliant work Scottie, I had no idea that there was labeling for what goes where. This is going to be the Bomb!! Rick H.:thumb2:

Stunning work Scottie. I once had a philosophical auto repair mentor who held that things meant well, they just needed the proper motivation & encouragement, like "that #$%^&&^%$# tie rod end really does want to come out of there, hit it here )(^&". PaulE

Joe, Thanks mate, Glad it meets with your approval.

Rick, Thanks mate, it appears that everything had a place and was labelled up. They are left over dry rub decals from Archer in the US. I haven't used a lot of them as they were for the M8 which had an all white interior so I don't think the white labels will look right on the OD fighting area.

Hi Paul, I recognise that language I have used it myself on numerous occasions when something wont shift:tongue-out3:

 

[scottie3158]

Not much bench time today. So not much done. The front seats have been added with safety belts made from thin foil and some etch from the spares box. the water canteens have been added and two .50 calibre ammo boxes have been slid under the bench. Next will be working on the radio.





cheers
Scottie

Afternoon mate,
Another lovely update:thumb2: I’m keen to know how you got such a nice worn finish on the floor? And if I may, how do you get such a nice matt finish on everything you’ve painted?
I’m tackling an interior at the mo, wish it was as nice as what you’ve achieved!

 

[Guest]

Astonishing work Scottie - so realistic.

Si thanks mate, The worn floor is very simple I run a soft lead pencil on a piece of emery then with a stiff ish flat brush rub the dust a little at a time in to the areas you want the steel to show through. I use Galleria flat coat It is the best I have found but other people will have their favourites. Good luck with the interior the only tip I can give you as you will probably already be aware of is only bare the metal or chip where there would be heavy foot fall or constant contact. Post some pics when you are done.

last update for today I promise. Have added some handles and painted up the radio set. I will have to make a headset and mic but that is for another day.
