Excellent modelling!
The finish is spot on. Love the fuel stains, wear and dust. Looks like the real deal :th:

Great eye for detail.
The weathering of the wood is bloody brilliant!!!
How did you get it to chip in that stripy fashion?
It looks the absolute bizz!

Thanks Han, that means a lot, your brilliant work has given me a lot of inspiration since joining ISM and I can only hope to get as good as you one day. The chipping I did with an old firm toothbrush and tried to keep the direction of the strokes all going in the same direction. I was hoping to try and imitate how the paint would crack and chip along the grain of the wood - not sure it entirely worked, but its getting there! :th:
You are way to modest! You're much better than you think you are.
Thanks for the tip on the chipping-brush technique! I will try that when I get to that point! :th:

cheers
