Glad you came up with something that works! I do like archer rivets and a few always get used on armor to replace ones lost to sanding etc.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Creeping along now! I think there is a natural momentum that is developed with each build. When that is interrupted, I find it difficult to re-start that engine. Another negative with having multiple on-going builds, I guess.

I've augmented the chipping using a sponge, which is very subtle and probably not visible in these photos. The model has been given a flat coat.

it is funny how the momentum will ebb and flow. This is really a sharp build.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I wonder if the oil spill here was design consistent in a pattern of threes. All engines leak, at least that’s what my Dad would say to me. I suppose this could be Allied mechanics messing around, too.

What is bloody amazing is his well your blends are hidden. Almost invisible! There are very few indications of what a construction nightmare this kit was for you. Amazing! Congratulations, John.

Thank you Lyle and Bruce!

I'm not sure what that dark stain under the exhausts of Green 4 is. Due to shadow, it's hard to see exactly what is going on there.

It doesn't appear that White 7 had the same issue. I did attempt to portray that small longitudinal streak just below the forward exhausts on the starboard side.

What a great color photo! I don’t think I’ve seen that one before. I bet there was specific reason for the spills in that case. Are you planning to add fluid weathering effects of any kind?

I see that I'm not the only one who's stepped away from his main project at the bench for a little while. Funny how when we take a step back for a bit and re-approach the bench things seem to just work themselves out. Those latches you received and applied are the "bee's knees" John.
