SUPERB WORK on the tools... they look pretty realistic. Never knew Vallejo is selling washes and pigments now.

Wow, nice tools T, they look the business     I always struggle to get a nice balance with wood colours. What mix did you use for the handles ?  Those Vallejo pigments look a bit tasty too

Always good to have a few things on the bench but when your on the clock with some builds it can get tricky No rushing tho !

Thanks Luigi!! The Model Air is great to work with...thinner than their primer it goes on smooth. The washes work well too. Best with a sealer in between, still workable after applying.

Thanks Los!! Wood has always escaped my grasp a bit too. I found a light sand and tan colors work excellent for a base. I really like to use oils to get grain effects and shading as the result is very nice, but drying time and sometime mess drag a bit. I pre-shaded the ends with black when I base coated the metal parts. I lightly went over with the Sand and Wood colors, added a matt varnish and then worked the washes. alternating colors of the washes...only took a tiny drop of each to add varriation.
