Fantastic, well done!!! A perfect build

I love the wooden sawhorses, they also look realistic

What a spectacular model you have done, Craig! And, in addition, it has has a story behind. The finish of the body work gives really the illusion of being made of bent metallic sheets. I went through the picture several times because every time there was something new to look at. I never built models of cars, but your built is making me thinking of getting one. Are you going to build a show case for it? I think it would be a beautiful piece for any bookshelf or the like.

Congrats,

Dan

Beautiful painting Craig and the photography is excellent too. The Uschi stencil effect is nice. Another item for the shopping list

You can also use very crude steel wool, like used to clean pots in the kitchen. By stretching the materia, you can have different effects and you can play with the distance from the sponge to the surface. It's a good technique for places, where it's hard to set the mask properly and you don't have the risk of color running under the mask.

Fantastic result Craig, your Bugatti looks exactly matching the story behind it, what is more to say. I enjoyed to follow your multiple weathering techniques during the build and learned a lot.
One little side note, for my liking the tyres look a bit too black, given the state of the car.

 

Cheers Rob
