Thanks fellas. Andy, don't you think you have more control if you used a bulldozer? I would be worried about he collateral damage even from those small guys.  . |

Nice work on the Harry there Marc! It's an ungainly bird but you've done it proud.

Hello Marc, What a beautiful build that you've brought across the finish line. The prop is gorgeous. I need to go back a read how you did that.  Dave |

Thanks Marc
Thanks Dave. Not sure if I gave any details on that but it was pretty simple. Base coat of Tamiya deck tan. Then a thick(ish) coat of raw sienna artist oil is brushed on. I think that's what I used. But you can use different brown form this shade to darker for different types of wood. All I did then was pull soft flat brush across the surface. A little Japan Dryer is needed to get it to dry. I forgot to do that and this took a couple of weeks to dry enough to even touch it.
