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

Thanks Gary. :) Updates are a bit slow at the moment :roll: 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 :lol:
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 :oops:
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,
Vincent

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

I thoroughly second that too Vincent :D

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
