Yeah, do it. And please share it here.
Couldnt imagine that a little tree could be able to hold me up this much...
After putting the bird sand/glue mixture over the brass skeleton it looked like that:
Simple glueing to the base didnt work at all - s I had to create a plan B. Just two words here: "BLACK" and "DECKER"!
With some Green Stuff, even more CA glue and baking soda as activator it went all well. A priming with a Montana rattle can ("1080 Everglade", a kind of khaki tone) followed and some greenish sponge pieces. Finally, some shreddered cork and some shots of yellowish green from the Revell ProfiPlus (highlight)... tadaaaa:
PS: The Vanship got some color as well - a light brown and some shades of oil color. Not very interesting right now, I guess.
More later, thanks 4 watching!
