Incredible work Joe. Impressive is an understatement

 

You are all very kind.  Thank you.

Mustang not really.  Each is different.  For the most part I am learning as I go what I need to build up and install.

Joe

Nearly there Joe! Very cool stuff. =] Can't wait to see the finish.

Very kind my friend.  Thank you.

Joe

Back with a quickie type of update.

A couple of hours has been spent with oils, paint, and pastels.  Streaking, chipping, and a bit of grime and streaking is the result.  To be honest it is not over the top.  I had to make sure I didn't take it too far.  I did use caution.

First the engine.  Oils and pastels were used.  Oils for the grime and dirty look and pastels for the exhaust stubs.

I used oils and enamels to do the chipping and the streaking.  The streaking is tough to see in the pictures.  

Now to let that dry out so I can hit it with a flat coat.  

All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

I'm still in awe over this build, Joe. So far this is one of those builds that would expect to see proudly displayed in the front window of the LHS. 

This is the type of model that draws people into a hobby shop!

The engine looks awesome Joe. Can't wait to see this one complrted.

Looking stunning, really doing it justice.

Stunning craftsmanship, Joe. This is just another example of your stellar modelling skills. Excellent !!!!
