    WQW! amazing work by UHU02. Thank you to everyone that has taken over reporting on UHU02's projects I'm glad to see they are being so well handled and makes me feel a little better about having to stop reporting them myself. The girder work is just incredible and I remember years ago a...

    Just need to flat coat it (when I can find some) then put somewhere where I can't keep fiddling with it. Incredibly good kit I just wish they would do a 1/48 or 1/32 scale one

    That's pretty much what I do with the probably vital exception of the floor finish :) Thanks for the tip I have the Bandai Falcon waiting in the pile so I will try your technique on that.

    Wow great link. The base colour should of dried more like that of the model in the link but for some reason the Tamiya paint had other ideas, I think the wash might of reacted with it either way I've stripped it off and will start again.

    Sorry you're still suffering pain although I'm glad to see that it hasn't stopped you from referencing BSG so you're obviously on the mend. Keep getting better my friend and I'll keep popping in to check on your progress.

    Thank you I think part of the charm of the Y Wing is the fact it's obviously an old war horse that's been through a lot so I think the weathering is a big part of giving this impression

    Pre-chores paint on the base hopefully I'll get chance later to tidy up and make good then get on to doing the pilot.

    Funnily enough I was just starting on the base this morning before getting to my other duties, I'm still not sure if I'm using it or having the Y Wing in a hangar

    Bandai Y Wing

    This is a model tank I made although I don't think it's as clear as I hoped but I weathered this using watered down colour brushed on then excess removed I then highlighted raised detail with a lighter colour then added spots of a bare metal colour here and there I just need to decide on what...

    I was originally just doing a wash to emphasise the panel lines but as I was removing the excess I noticed it had dulled the plastic and made painting the white redundant (yay the easy option) I just diluted black acrylic paint to the point that it was basically dirty water then wiped off the...
