Heaven on earth...hmmm, I think tooling around the sky burning 100LL avgas is my heaven on earth, but this is a real close second. Considering the weather here in New England this week, I don't think that will be happening.
My one and only project on the bench is AM's 1/48 SBD-5. Strictly a OOB build. I'm concentrating on my detail painting and weathering techniques for this one. All too often I rush through the interior to get it together so I can paint and decal it. I usually close my canopies to hide the bland cockpit. Models that have every last detail picked out really catch my eye.
This kit is packed full of details that are begging to be painted, washed and drybrushed. So far I've got most of the interior painted and have started my washes. I'm also trying some new stuff for me. I'm going for some subtle paint fading and light to medium wear. Not so much chipped paint, but more of a worn almost down to metal effect.
So that's the plan. We shall see if it comes to fruition.
Thanks for the encouragement!
