So finally got to finish off this little project - quite pleased with the finished piece
- especially the guy with the glasses!
- especially the guy with the glasses!
In retrospect the addition of the photo-etch pieces can't really be appreciated on the bike -but I know they are there.
The fence was a late addition to fill a dead space in the corner - just a match and thin wire.
The base is a cheap box frame painted in a neutral colour.
I think the addition of the hornet heads really lifts this ancient kit and is well worth the extra cost. The detail is sublime and simply cannot be beaten by plastic ones! I think I will do this to all my kits in future.
The groundwork is simply a piece of polystyrene textured with earth and static grass.
Some foliage was made for added interest and to break up the look groundwork.
As is usual for me I didn't bother with any weathering - preferring a new or restored look to the model. I don't think heavy weathering is always appropriate - however if you like to do it that way - it is your model after all.
So another little project finished and thoughts turn to 'what's next?'
Stay tuned.....
