Thanks, I was trying to make it look like an old bulky knit fisherman's sweater! The shirt was brushed with Tamiya XF-56 Metallic Grey, the washed with X-19 Smoke, finally sprayed with Testors Dullcote, all over automotive grey primer. Be advised, my Tamiya paints are over 20 years old, formula has probably changed by now!

I guess this fits here as much as Wally Gator! Hit a real snag with my usual car modeling, so lately I pulled out some old kits of other subjects, some started (like this one) some not. This is the first to be finished, pretty happy with it. Woodland Scenics materials on the base, especially like how the lichen on the headstone came out. Carved off the molded rope belt and made one out of some twine. Used a lot of colors I don't normally use! Thanks for looking - Brian Nice work! |

This is a very successful build of a classic, hat off, looks extraordinary, great colors!  Is that the 1:8 glow in the dark kit from Monogram, Revell or original Aurora? |
