I'm also looking for alligator clips without teeth, or something not as sharp as the ones I got from RS.

Ian I found these at radio shack, although not as large as the others i have bought before.

Just caught up with this one!
Great progress so far, and the pre-shading looks superb!

Ooo nice! Will have to pick some up.

This is what happens when you've had to wait 3 weeks to work on your kit and you finally get ~16.43 minutes to airbrush a "fast" mix of Future and Tamiya Flat Base. I was not paying attention and mixed too much Flat Base.

So close. So very, very close. *sigh*. Any suggestions?

 

[Grendels]

I have done that before, just mix up some more future and flat base, just use less flat base. The new coat will reduce the frosting effect and save it.

 

[Solander]

I'd second Grendels.
I've used this method a billion times, and it always saved the day

 

[CheesyGrin]

Solander and Grendels - thanks for that suggestion. . I'll give it a try for sure. I'm feeling much better now! ;D

 

[CheesyGrin]

It's all finished. I'm excited to share the final product with you. And even more excited to start a new project!

I have ~20 pics and didn't want to load them all in the post. So feel free to browse the lot in Photobucket. Comments and feedback are more than welcomed.

She is a thing of beauty! Good work!

 

[Boxster]

Very good job on the enhancement bits, the paintings/weatherings! Great job and love the base!

When its time for me to build this sucka, could I use some of your ideas for mine?

Look forward to more of your works!

Stunning work, mate.
The paintwork and the weathering are probably the best I've seen on the original series raider.
Awesome!
