Terri!
I am sorry! But I am also sure that you'll get it right soon!
To cheer you up a little I'll get you a glass of Italian wine!
Cheers!

Hi Terri, sorry it didn't turn the way you wanted, can I suggest for the next time you use this "dust" color from Floquil; it may have the tone that you want and it builds up in very ligth layers, you can control how much do you apply. almost imposible to do a heavy layer, at least that you want it. and always remember that this is for fun .

Let's do some plastic.

Thanks for all of the support guy's

Here is a up-date of the recent progress so far . Wire hoops are in place , top wing is mounted and rigging has began . Now it's starting to look like a airplane . It paid off ! It was an easy task mounting the wing . I did redrill the locating holes just a tad bigger for a better fit . The wire rigging for the frot of the frame is done and rigging started on the tail section . While taking breaks inbetween the rigging I will work on the wheels front landing gear and other smaller items . The prop just needs the oss painted and then it's finished .

WOW, Terri. That really does look grand. Your way to hard on yourself if you think it didn't turn out. The dusting effect looks great.

@ Ruffus; I remember Floquil Dust. It's great for making muddy windows on AFV's

@Jackflash: If this is a disappointment, I want to lean how to make my models this disappointing!

Great job Terri!

Thanks Stephen You can see the shading from using the sharpie , but it is very faint and doesn't show up in the pictures . so in ways it did work out to a to some degree I'm very happy with how the CDL turned out , once the pastels hit the surface and started doing their magic the effect looks pretty darn good .

Thanks Guy for the kind comment . I'm also finding that when things go wrong to change that to an advantage to try something I don't do all that much or not at all . Working with pastels is easier then having to strip the paint , just wipe it off with a damp rag and try again .

EEK the R word...runs and hides. I'm sure it will work fine, I've been experimenting frying my hand at preparing to rig the DVa. Yourself and others are a great font of knowledge and inspiration

Thank you Terri,

A up-date on the rigging . Still have a few more lines to add once the exhaust is added . Landing gear is waiting the grain effect before the clear coats can go on .












more to come soon on a web site near you

Beautiful rigging!! Some day I will do that. but maybe next time, if it's not much to ask, can you show us the new ones how do you make it? You know, we are eager to learn.

Congrats
