Re: French Claws: Vikings Bearcat
and the bearpuss is complete (actually she was complete a week ago but have been very busy with work and home stuff).
i enjoyed the build, i think i would make it more chipped next time, but that just needs larger salt grains. i dont like the colour of the dust, its not red enough, but again, thats just a case of buying some vietnam pigment dust. the rockets came up well, the tips were painted by the "dip and drip" technique which worked well.
otherwise, an enjoyable build of an enjoyable kit.
thanks for looking and commenting on the build.

Great job, Alan. Weathering is top notch.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

Re: French Claws: Vikings Bearcat
Good job, very nice build, and the paint/weathering effect seems to work !!!
Only thing I see is that the rockets, especially under the right wing, are slightly out of alignment.
