For sure a clever way to replicate the portholes.
Never seen that before. 👍

Thank you.
Eric, I thought this is the fastest way to create a mold. They don't stick together and if you don't overheat them they stay in shape ..

Did you use the "hairspray method" for the chipped paint? it looks good!

No, ist a postshading. I used "wet palette" of four colours
Black, Brown, Leather Brown & Dark Earth (Revell Aqua Color).
With lots of water and an brush I "randomly" distributed chipping with black spot. Then I drew different Brown lines down in the direction the water goes.
I tried to look for logic positions though
Tool this as a kind of reference ...

This one needs some dockyard days, I think.
Great job. Glad to have it seen life. 👍

Have seen it a few times at club meetings - still very impressive demonstration of skills, and on top I know than Marc is building comparably fast at the same time. Cheers, mate. 👍👍👍

Thx to you both. I am a "build for effect" scale modeller 🙂

Album info
I really like this kit. The added parts reall improve it while the retro feeling of Matchbox stays.
Had lots of fun.
