Thanks Tone

It's Garry's fault ,
accually it's mine and then Garry fixed it.

Garry look with only one eye - and that.. through partially spread fingers (palm over other)


it's not correct but it shows some resemblance to a Viscount

Hi Hobby

good tip , I was wondering how I would apply thee (a) matrial to have give the appearance of texture, I was worried the glue itself would be to thick
on top the surface. which was why I thought about using silver gilding.
The lines of the seperate panels are out lined good enough so I was thinking of using just paintas you and Garry have suggested
maybe allowing some of the paint to set up just to tact and then apply to hopfully create the waves a real panel has ...
I don;t have an old model to practice on , this is practice and the entry all rooled up into one , so I figured ask you guys here and just give it a try.

I havn't build a model since I was a youngster. ... but having built racecars , airboats , and multistory 4000amp electrical systems it's shouldn't
be to hard , then again........ :roll:

The Glencoe Viscount is a favourite of mine and the most accurate injection moulded Viscount ever produced
