That seems like a decent price Ferd. However, is there a minimum order? I wouldn't need more than ten, only four actually.

I have been spending many an hour on Chuck's site and have applied a coat of brown and aged black to the skip. Will give it a coat of hair spray and dull coat followed by top color tomorrow. New style of weathering for me so it should be fun.

Here is the skip partially weathered and painted. Now it time to make changes, tone down, cleanup etc..

Well this project took forever. Of course I have modelers ADD in that I cannot for the life of me only work on one project at a time. (at least 10)
Here are some quick down and dirty pics of the first skip almost complete. Still have the load to finish.
Did not want to set up the studio so I just snapped some pics outside in bright sun - sorry for the poor quality.

cheers Ferd

Sweet little model! It is coming out marvelously.  Could you post a picture of the mold?

Thanks, John

Will do. The skip is made up of 12 parts - using 5 molds - will try to get picks up tomorrow.
