Still on this one, albeit on a slow path. Lots of things to take care of, but not too much worth to be photographed...

Managed to mask the floor to get the seat and equipment rails a metallic colour. Took me about 20 minutes to mask, but only 1 minute to airbrush... Oh, well!

a magician. You are a magician. But, so are the rest of our group. Nice work. What do you use to burnish the edges of the tape?
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!"..

Wished I was a magician! All my kits would be finished in a second!

Masking was done with Tamiya tape, placed along the raised rails. Burnishing was done with my Mk.I fingertips.

I feel everything you do is worth a photo, from cutting sprues to masking these floor strips. So, no need to edit. Although I understand “insert worthy” as a very helpful way to edit the flow of a narrative in filmmaking, it continues to be my wish that you would show a few more details along the way. I really am learning so much from what you post. Heartfelt thanks and best wishes to all including “Terror cat!”

Now where would the fun be in that? :tease:

No need to remove the Revell logo; it won´t be seen later. Our special forces have surely better things to do those days...
