Thank you Gary!! Most appreciated!! Thanks Andy!! Alternating unmixed Streking Grime and Slimy pin washes to the crease at each section...laid it down pulled it up into the open area and then with an almost dry (humid) brush of white spirits, lightly clean back the strap. Kind of stayed brown near the joint and a tinge of green pulling out.  |

Thanks Joe!! Andy, I am glad to see the days of the "closed mouth modeler" are pretty much over...all to the advent of some great forums out here...MSC included of course. That was a nice bid on the Tiggy...sweet A$$ build all around!!One of these days I might actually build one!! LOL!! |

Geez T, you really are not too scruffy at this whole modelling gig, are yer?  Once again sir, you have raised the bar that little bit further. Soon, 't shall be out of reach, methinks! Once again, the old knitting idea becomes all the more appealing.......  Nice, brother. Nice. Cheers, Sam  |

Paul - Thanks for stopping by to check things out!! That would be awesome to see you have at a Wing, would be impressive!!
Chris - Thank you sir...means a bunch since you are the benchmark for me when it comes to these things!! Thanks for the tip! I actually figured out a reversed mask thing that should do the trick. But I can see now the foam would be a bit quicker!!
Heading down in a few to sand up the seams on the body and I will shoot a pic of where this is at!!

The smallest of updates here. I managed to get the fuselage together and did a bit of sanding. I found a few small fix-it's and will take care of them, but real close to taking the AB off the leash on this one!!  Thanks for tuning in!!! |
