Many thanks for all your kind comments.

Regarding the method I've used to weather it, in miniature figure circles it's called glazing or sometimes people say its like applying a filter. I guess before the end I'll be adding some weathering powders too, just to give it that dusty look.

Your model is pretty cool! Not a criticism, but a tip on a detail. Look at the hood (bonnet) side trim. Note that the two horizontal bars are seperate, the round piece in your photo is a bit of the tool sprue. Also, between the two bars up front, the FORD plate is a seperate piece so put a bit of body color paint between the pieces. See the above photo for that detail. Cheers!

Ah, thanks for that Tom, I hadn't realised that's how it looked. I shall make the necessary corrections this morning

Darn, I forgot the spure thing.

So, whilst there's not so much to see that's new I've been beavering away doing lots of bits - dullcoat, weathered the underneath, headlamps, one side bin, attached the bonnet, painted some fire bomb bottles and lots of other bits that need doing but gets lost in the bigger picture.

You Sir, are a phenomenal painter. This thing looks so real, it's just crazy. Great job! I can definitely learn a thing or two from you.

Pretty crazy stuff there,I'm really diggin the cargo in the back.Where did you gt the cargo and minigun?

[Megazord_man]

Thanks Jon and Austin, nice to know you're enjoying the process. If there's something you want to know about how I've been painting it just ask away.

I got the resin from a company called Dark World Creations whilst at a model show. I've just checked and its not up on their website yet but I know they're good guys so if you contact them they maybe able to help you.
