Wife said i had to re paint the holiday display...

Nah!Plain old Rust Oleum Fire Engine Red!

Rivets.... there are no rivets. Did you use the correct Federal Standard Red?

Is your Gentex helmet and suit ready?

The nose profile isn't right.  Was this made by the ChiComs?  The manufacturer should have asked me for my help since I know a guy who dated the sister who cut the hair for the mailman of the actual elf who worked on the original.

You guys are funny!

He could dry brush the details

That usually works well on the old Monogram kits.

For the instrument panel, will you be using the kit one with the decal, or are you going aftermarket?

Yeah it might take 2 gallons!

I suggest setting your router at a shallow setting and plow some panel lines. A nice med grey wash on the lines will add some depth. How many gallons of Alclad will that project take if you decide to go NMF?

Philo: looks like you used RLM colors.....did you use red lead or red oxide primer?  BTW, nice white wash.

No panel lines either(Plywood construction)

What?! No preshading?????

Wow!must be pricey!

Verlinden makes a nice PE detail kit for that.

No man I am not one of Those modelers!I am an Anti rivet counter/color obsessive!

Does Santa use FS or RAL colors? 

Did you match the colors to paint chips in the Official Monogram Santa's North Pole Color Guide?  

I asked the wife for Luftwaffle mottle,but she nixed the idea!

Olive drab over neutral gray, or natural metal finish?

It was already weathered so I had to freshen it up!

Not enough rust

Needs more weathering 

what scale is that :-)
