Wow you do some really nice work. Is a lot of the weathering done with oils? Or just a whole bunch of different stuff? Just curious cuz I'm trying to get into this weathering and it seems really tedious but the end result can be amazing. One other question. You have been posting a lot of really cool builds lately and I have a question. How do you build these so fast? Sometimes it takes me months and you're blowing these out in a couple hours how in the heck do you do it?

blowing these out in a couple hours

I think he has a pretty extensive back catalogue!
Do a search for Grumpa threads and prepare to be blown away!

Believe me. I like all his work. I was just having some fun, I hope he didn't take it wrong

Haha, you have such a dry wit, I fall for it every time!
I just figured you'd missed Jim's early post when he started catching us up on his collection of work.

Those rub marks right down to the bare metal look pretty convincing, Grump, Excellent!
