Well this will be my final WIP update before I turn in my final photos for the competition. Finished clear coating and panel lining. A few more detailing and cleanup. Some bit of subtle weathering and it’s off to the photo booth.
So well then: Here is my final entry for the competition.
I learned a lot (first attempt at camo and a little weathering) and had quite some fun (after a few mishaps)
In the…
Took a couple of test shots to check my lighting and how well the detail shows up. I have to do a more obvious highlighting/shading job next time. I always underestimate how…
I avoid putting a varnish over the weathering. I put it on after bascoats and decals, to save the paint, while working on it with thinners and stuff.

You can call it a quite successful experiement so far.Scratchbuilding or modelling something out of clay is for sure none of my talents..

Picsize is def a problem for me too.
