:-) Getting close to finishing, Decals on, another coat of Klear, and a mist coat of heavily thinned medium sea grey to fade the sun exposed areas.

looking good Holdfast. I suppose this will get the weathered finish also?

yep Plasticbattle, the paint used for the fading is Xtracolour and if I don't let it cure long enough I have a fear that it will react under the next coat of clear (it needs that to protect this coat from the wash). I could have thined it with celulose thinner and it would have cured in no time, but the idea was to be able to remove it, if it didn't work out. I think it did and should look better under a wash and a matt coat. Wash tomorrow, hopefully. :-)
Penny, cheers, I'm not sure it's a masterpiece but thanks for the thought
