Really is a beaut Vaughan. Photographed against a darker background, such as a 'grass' mat, it would really emphasis that metal finish. Great job!
 
Thanks Terry, I might pop down to my local artist shop tomorrow and get some black artist board which would really enhance the finish.
 
Great job, Vaughan, I especially like the way the nmf and the subtle washing turned out. I'll take all of your hints into account when it's time to build my big "jug". Thanks for your efforts, Alex.
 
Black will work, but can be too much of a contrast. A neutral grey (mid tone) will work well, showing the finish without over-emphasising things.
Photographed on a basic 'diorama' setting, for example grass and concrete, or 'patchy' grass, will give a natural look (depending on lighting) and, if converted to 'grey scale' (B&W), can be compared to period shots of similar, real aircraft.
 
Just got the same kit, I hope I can do it half a nice as yours. That would make me happy. I will be asking for your advice from time to time on things that may need a little nip,tuck sort of thing
