Thanks Ray.


Final round of shading for the lower body. Roof still needs to be addressed....but next it's on to scratching and painting the remaining small details.

Hello Marc,

to see the real size of the "Midget" just floors me. You caught the impression of this old-but-still-in-use vehicle to the point. Fantastic work!

Outstanding Marc!!

I can only echo what has been said in regards to the finish of this model. It is extremely well done and very realistic. Congratulations.

But ... 
I'm still traumatised by the fact that you stripped down your Gas Mechanical

Cheers, Peter

I didn't realize you would be able to improve the finish. Not bad. -- Russ

It's even more impressive now that I can see how small this model actually is!

My butler wears white gloves like that . They keep his grubby fingerprints off the claret jug .

Thanks Peter, Ray and Wesley. Much appreciated.   ......and, err, yeah Russ too.

Nick, A Butler is so...well, "common".... I have Micheal Jackson hold all my models for me while painting.

   That must be a bit smelly by now .

Ha   (need one of them "like" buttons on this forum)

The Midget is a sweet liitle thing Marc, with some great paint finishes.  Now if that other gas mechanical thing that you stripped back comes out as nice as this little beast, then I understand why you went back for the do over.  And you mean you used to have Michael Jackson hold your models don't you, otherwise I gonna start circulating the conspiracy theory stuff on his fate.

Cheers,
Dan

Nice work Tim!


The Germans will not know what has hit them.......... Mr Reusser in sequins.

I don't care who you are!!! ...................... That's funny ....... arf!

[marc_reusser]

Most funny Tim! Thanks!

Got up the nerve this evening to carefully strip the roof, mask, and re-shoot a rust base color. Color coat hopefully tomorrow.

No wonder. The previous attempt was just horrible. Horrible, do you hear me? -- Russ
