The stowage straps look much better now. Nice touch with the chipping... that's what I am hoping to do today on my Chally II. LOL

More great progress Leon! One small suggestion would be to make the chips smaller...think about the scale size of the chips, for example a 1mm wide chip is actually 35mm on the real vehicle, or just about 1.5 inches, a pretty large chip or scratch when you think about how you've got some of them placed. Maybe dry-brush some of the base coat back over the chips you've created to help blend them back in a bit?

I like the idea, but I agree with Bill, I'd do the scratches a little smaller...

Never thought I'd say this Leon, but smaller is better. It looks like you actually scratched the paint off. Is that how you did it?

Luigi thank you ,never gave scale size a thought when i did these. Jeff,say it as often as you like buddy .In this case smaller is better.Scratches were done with a 00 brush and VERY little paint.

Brilliant work Leon , really like the stowage and all the extra effort trying new things has deffo worked in your favour . Also like the composition on the base .... hills and angles always look good IMO

Leon, looks pretty good to me. I would maybe try rotating the tank a little so it is climbing the hill more directly? Just my 2 cents

This is going to look super sweet Leon! I would leave the mulch pieces as they should look perfect once painted the sandy color! Flag look great too! Federico is too kind to share all his works!! I little trick on the flag and you can print another to try it out: If using an inkjet printer - A couple of quick squirts with hairspray to seal the ink, then dampen, not soak the flag with some PVA mixed 60/40 with water...brushed on lightly....take a couple small pieces of tubing...one two or three alternating on the sides of the flags giving a wavy look to the flag...allow to dry... Ben brought up a question about flags the other day which prompted me to start to put together a small SBS on flag making...hope to have this done soon!!
