Gorgeous base! Can't wait to see the finished display!

Thanks Mark. I've got lots more plants to add but the Modelscene bases are really very good to start with.

Another master class in ferrous oxide! Looking forward to more updates while I wait for the AM wheels to arrive for mine...

Gary

Thanks Gary. Updates are a bit slow at the moment Did you order the LZ model wheels?

I found some time to get a bit of the weathering done. In fact I've almost finished it
I used Vallejo paint and their chipping solution on the mudguards, wheels and engine cover. Everything else is done with Abteilung oils.
I was going to take in progress pics but I got into a groove and just kept going. Sorry about that
Anyway, this is what I ended up with after a few hours of fun.

I couldn't resist putting it on the base for a quick look.

I plan on putting more work into the base yet so this isn't the final setup.
More next time.
Cheers,

Thanks Adam. It's close to being done, still a few bits to tidy up before I can move on to the base.

Absolutely brilliant!

I thoroughly second that too Vincent

I shall have too review your SBS as my last chipping adventure, on the Arnhem benches is no where near your work.

I still use hairspray, perhaps its time to use chipping solution?

Excellent work Vincent
