Hugo, great job on this, honestly it is both an inspiration and something to aspire to.  Yes

Weathering looks spot on, and great choice on the photo backdrop, it all combines into a very realistic presentation.

regards,

Jack

Jack,

Yep, I tried on the photos, I live in a crowded city, so getting pictures without houses in the back is troublesome.

Thank you very much for your kindness.

Nicely finished build and the weathering really fits into that scene.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thank you Bish, I tried some "technics" to add dust, didnt came out as expected but oh well, you try and you fail and you try again.

Holy crap, Hugo! I never want to hear you make another bad comment about your model building skills, because that it AWESOME! The weathering looks perfect, and the base perfectly suits the finish!

Great!!!

qcarr, I consider myself also a rookie, I've been doing this for the past 2 years versus some of the other masters in here which have decades of experience.

I think Im still doing a lot of experimentation, I still have not done any kit with hairspray technique, so I have a looong way, plus I can only build 2 to 3 kits per year....I need to retire...but....I stil have another 25 years of work ahead of me before I can do that.

Thanks for your comments

Hi Rbaer,

Thanks for your appreciation on the base, yep, I did had to use almost all of my pigment fixer, $$$$, and lots of white glue. Yes the sand is hard to the touch, I did not wanted to worry for a breeze of air to take away the dio...heheheh...

Thanks again,

That thing is crusty......freaking awesome. Everytime I feel like I'm getting somewhere with my modeling /weathering skills someone posts something like this and I feel like the beginner I am once again.

Excellent as always. I am working on her little sister T-55. I will be studying your techniques here in detail.
