What did you do in your modeling workshop today?

Next project on the go. Aeronavale (French Navy) F4U-7 Corsair from Revell (Hasegawa) in 1/48. Cockpit looks quite rudimentary but I’ll keep the canopy closed anyway …

Looking really good, the depth of colour you’ve achieved is very nice.

That dusty effect is spot on. :+1:

Thank you, Uncle Heavy & Watto.

Today trying to tweak a few things.

Found a dry transfer marking that fit the kit fire extinguisher.

Worked a tiny bit of sag into tracks over the return rollers.

For me it’s the Sheridan, but no where near the severity of your addiction, I’ve 86’d the last three I built and have two in the stash, one day I’ll crank one out that I’m sastisfied with :nauseated_face:

Several years ago, I built the Horror Boss ShkH Dana in Czech camo. I was never really happy with the lighter green I used. I needed to get an entry together for the competition being held in conjunction with the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum’s Aus Armourfest (3 days of tank rides and other bliss). So I decided to repaint the Dana for that.:
Before:

After:





It survived the flight from Brisbane to Cairns, but despite being in the middle of the comp table, one MG recuperator was still somehow broken off at the show - after judging fortunately. I’ll need to scratch that again.

Oh, I won 2nd prize and was awarded a $110 ride voucher… I used that to get on the M110A2 the museum has…

I finished a Norwegian F-16 for the Smells like teen (fighter) spirit campaign. It was fun to do a Group build again.

Glad to hear that Angel. I enjoy the ‘Workshop Wednesday’ updates too. Not too many other places to go to see a restoration step by step program.

A few of us from our club venture up. We pay for the ‘Commanders Deck’ on the Saturday, and that price includes a tour through the workshops by the museum owner. We get a sneak peak of where things are, plus get to ask questions from the guys doing the restorations.

Rob is really passionate about restoring and displaying vehicles so the public can see and, where possible ride, in them. The whole family are wonderful down to earth people.

Thanks for the YT tip!

Would this be a good example of the Spanish School of Weathering?
