Terri,

You have truly proven yourself by the way you handled the stumbling blocks thrown in your way. A lesser modeler would have tossed that Albi, but you turned it around to look even better than it might have if the problems hadn't occurred! Truly outstanding and inspiring work. And your rigging is First Class!!!

Thanks Brad ! With all the great help and support on the site and not to mention , I can still hear Stephen hollering at me .....Surrendering is not in a modelers greed ! and sure enough Hugh has tagged team with him on that as well

My skills will never improve if I was to toss something away every time a set back occur ed or mis-hap happens . It has been fun trying new products , but very frustrating at the same time . Now I know what will work for me and I can avoid those situations which arise durning a build , not that they won't happen once more , which I'm sure they will .




SURRENDERING IS NOT IN A MODELERS GREED !

When seeing the results yes that’s really pays off. The whole build will get more interesting when the ribs are discovered, this method is getting popular on this site.
Mixing the paints to get a softer tone is just in my taste. Otherwise the colours will tend to scream at you and you will have a hard time to find the harmony in the build. Often looks more like a colour chart than a beautiful early bird.

Terri, Really nice work! I first saw this scheme back in Nowarras Eisernes Kreuz und Balken Kreuz. I liked it then and your presentation is excellent.
