Looks about right for the scale Rob. If it was too shiny, it would look a bit odd in the small scale I think.

Agree there. Much easier to put the model on the bench, and use both hands to steady the camera.

Nice work Karl. About time I got down to doing that pair you sent me decals for - started on the diorama base first, so got to get the kites done!

rochie, what technique do you use for the mottling? I would like to have a go at some German machines, but I'm always put off by the camo

i dip a cooton bud in the paint then dab it on some kitchen towel until its almost dry then slowly build up layers of dabs on the model, if that makes sense ????

Amazing stuff once again Wojtek. That's going to be a very impressive model once built.

Makes perfect sense, I had thought of something similar myself. I might go German for my next purchase and see how it turns out.
