Spending twenty minutes here and there over the weekend I managed to bring the Christmas Whippet to an endstate of sorts.
Given the conditions of the Western front in the final years of the First World I wanted it to have a muddy dirty look.
I also wanted it fairly oily, however in some places I overdid it I think. My bottle of wash is nearly empty and not as consistent as I thought it would be.
Decals were from the set, and they have a good range to choose from. I gave this Whippet a mixture to keep it fairly generic.
I suppose I will have to wrap it now, that could take longer than the actual construction.
Model on!
'Christmas Whippet'? Makes a change from turkey I suppose...
ReplyDeleteNice work though - and for what it's worth, 'oily' is a good look.
Damn good painting old chap. Love the weathering and oiling effects. Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteNice looking Whippet Paul. Did I see that you scored some more on TM today? I see there is another set with , a whippet, a Mk4 and an A7V amongst other stuff. I think I might get this one too.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely (and quickly done). You put the rest of us to shame. What rule set do you use for WWI?
ReplyDeleteDimitri
That came out rather nicely!
ReplyDeleteThis is your most "rivet-counter-friendly" piece yet!
ReplyDeletenice looking model... Cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim, I should not worry about such things especially since its a give away, but there you go.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm Christmas Whippet, the stuffing is wickedly Tommie!
Cheers Irqan, I enjoy the mud application process myself, it must be the artistic licence kicking in.

Hi Rodger, no that was not me, too close to Christmas now to be spending money on myself mate.
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly good buys and I would if I could.
Cheers Paul
Hi Dimitri, thanks mate. WW1 is more Al's Forte, although I have dabbled in a game or two with him.
ReplyDeleteCommand Decision is the ruleset, not too sure on the version.

Thanks Don. The kit is a pleasure to work with mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Nice play on words Easternfunker, and very true.
ReplyDeleteThanks GEM.
ReplyDeleteRegards Paul
Very good mate.Could do with a little more mud maybe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rich I will leave that idea up to the new owner. As it was in the last months of the war when it arrived I had too be wary about over doing it.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Thanks Ray, not up to your standard but rough enough for us colonials mate.
