Thanks Gents - it's pretty much finished now.

Uh...well, it is your build. Glossy is nice. On the other hand dull coat it more to period, yes, but I like it shiny. But they were not shiny, I know. But...and on and on.Stuart wrote:Thanks Gents - it's pretty much finished now.

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!"..

How about a satin coat? Suggests a waxed look like some ground crews did to get just a bit more speed advantage.Stuart wrote:Thanks Gents - it's pretty much finished now.

Thanks for the input Gents -
I did think Satin as well actually. So I've given it a coat of one of my matt coats as if comes out a bit satinish... (is that a word?)
I'm pretty much finished this kit now, just a few odds and sods to do - I had hoped I'd get it done today but alas not.
One annoying thing is that I've lost the rear view mirror to the carpet monster - I guess 2020 has had it's last bit of fun.

You have produced a fantastic finish on this model, my man. She’s a beauty and once again, you’ve leveled up. You keep getting after it because yep, you’re achieving your goal and then some. Good show, buddy!
