Sounds good!  Will have to mix that up (with a lesser gin, unfortunately) this afternoon...

  Salt chipping madness on a sunday morning:

[cthulhu77]

after matte grey, then aluminium, now desert tan...more salt than on a hamhock!

[cthulhu77]

scrubbed away...now lots of finishing work!  Hey, where is that 3M pad?

[Brian da Basher]

Love the way it looks like antiqued metal...it's as if you found some unusually authentic and detailed 1940's Mustang die-cast!

This is one to watch, that's for sure.    

[Radish]

Looking terrific.....I like the sound of all this!!  

[cthulhu77]

Thanks all...yeah, I kind of like the way this one is going also:

[BlackOps]

Mmmmmm, Big Guns    Greg you are indeed a master at alternative weathering techniques. Lookin' good, very good!  

I'm very curious to see how you match your markings to your weathering. I love this stuff!

[cthulhu77]

Thanks!   I printed up the decals today, with lowered colouring, and I am going to chip away at them...

I thought it was a leaping gazelle (or impala?) from S.A.

I need to start drinking!

[Brian da Basher]

Did I say Roo? Sheesh and I'm only drinking Hi-C fruit punch!
:dum:
Great Gazelle, Greg!

SPRINGBOK! IT'S A ZARKING SPRINGBOK!


Greg, tell me again how you do the salt chipping? Lana and I are both very, very keen to try it.

Lovin' it! Speechless mate!
