In the long run, that's all we really can do, put our faith in others' reearch. Unless it is a subject of something that we have fiirsthand knowledge of, we usually have to do just that. :geek:

Very good modelling here, Jim. You push the standards from build to build, I'm impressed.
Like Airfixer said, the weathering is right on point. She's a bit dirty, :whip: but not too much.

Looking forward to your next project.

Prof of Death, your work is so good I'm gonna give you a tip that will make your future builds IPMS Nats contenders.

I think you gotta completely rivet these 32nd scale birds.

I see it routinely done on quarter-scale builds with awesome results. I think the higher you go up on the ladder in scale the more detailed you have to get...

I keep coming back to look at this...I like it a lot!

Curious though...what happened with all the primer/chipping effects that were in the WIP???

Excellent work Jim!

Love the weathering,
happy to see builds that are not "overly" weathered and this example is just perfect!

:bow:

I love your bent-winged bird and want to un-bend its wings and sit in its birdcage, making tweeting sounds...
