The cabin was given a liberal wash with a mixture of alcohol and black ink. A haphazard dry brushing with off white acrylic paint was applied after the ink wash dried. When the white had dried I did the same thing with barn red. Then softened the colors with a small wire brush.

As much as I liked seeing all three in natural light, I enjoy seeing the pieces in detail while in construction. I really appreciate all the scratching you do – construction over assembly. It really puts art into it when you make custom pieces to meet your own ends. Looking forward to number three and your future projects.

A delightfull build and a lot of fun just watching the transformation. This takes modeling to a new dimension when you realise it began as a little plastic model. I was inspired and have bought the Revell tug Lucky XII to see what I can do. Will let you know how I go. Good work! Les
