Well its the new year and time for something new. I took a decision Decided to vary my models to as many different genres as possible this year. Pulled this off the shelf a couple of days ago and have made pretty good head way so far.  The box  Its Contents I unfortunately didn't document a lot of the beginning because I was just having too much fun. The parts fit beautifully and only the odd seam needed some filler.   Here is where Im at so far. Gloss coat, pin wash, decals a wash and some chipping have been done so far. Next up will be a matt coat and then a few layers of hairspray and a white wash. Plenty to do still as well as a few mistakes to correct. As always, all comments welcome. |

Hi all Got the hairspray down and a layer of white sprayed over that. Waited for it to dry then began the chipping process. Here are the results so far. Plenty more to do, but stoked with the results so far.    All comments welcome |

Hi all Before continuing the weathering process on the figure, I thought id build the base so I could tie the 2 together. Going for a wet muddy/snow look to the terrain. Below is the start. More layers to come. Let me know your thoughts.    |
