Thats a whole lot better Wooty. The texture that you got on the top of the hull is outstanding. Real nice job overall. Thanks for sharing with us. Semper Fi, mike

Hey Thanks Guys.
Makes me feel a whole lot better.
The decals are from Echelon Fine Details.
The surface is one that was already on the molds but i masked it off and thinned the paint back highly trying not to paint over it and covering it over. I heard with a couple of coats of paint on it, it will not even be viewable.
As ya both can see there is a lot more work to do on this build!!!
Weathering will be done with chalks,pencils and heaps of drybrushing (my favourite)
Anyway thanks for the kind words.
C'Yas

It looks pretty sharp to me so far. What did you use for the non slip?

I didn't have to do anything there, cause the kit comes with a non-slip surface on it so it was a matter of just to mask the areas off that has it and then thinning down the paint to go on there afterwards.

Thanks for the kind words there to all of ya's.
I will put some pics up there as soon as i get it finished.
