Re: Splash's Shaun and Blitzer Blitz **Finished**
The question now is do I muck it up and give it a good spay of mud and re paint the figures using shading?
I think the Land Rover could do with the mud treatment but leave the figures with the plastic look.
What do you think?

All rightie than. I have never understood the nerve of some folks adding soda to thier Scotch. Ugh!
So......A great Blitz, Splash. As one model magazine puts it: "It scales out perfectly."
Well done. Now get ready for your holidays.

Why not? you've finished as far as the blitz is concerned and a clean Landy is not on really - they always look better with a bit of mud on boardsplash wrote:The question now is do I muck it up and give it a good spay of mud and re paint the figures using shading?

Re: Splash's Shaun and Blitzer Blitz **Finished**
It does look good, a great job in the time, but the mud treatment to the Land Rover would really be a nice touch. I would love to see the figures shaded personally but they might lose their authentic feel. Maybe it needs to be 'cartoon' style mud to keep the overall feel, splashed up over the pigs as well.

Cheers to you too Splash. I remember that Pussers "won't tip over in the roughest sea" bottle from the last blitz and very attractive it is too.

Re: Splash's Shaun and Blitzer Blitz **Finished**
Excellent finish Shaun! Looks like you had a fun time, and certainly something different to blitz.
They all look like they came from the cleaner, the pigs are so pink and shiny. I see you also combed the wool of the sheep. And the car had a perfect wash!
I would leave the figures as is. After all, they are cartoons. But go splash mud that Rover.
I like how the sheep is looking at the rum! Soon he'll be doing this

Re: Splash's Shaun and Blitzer Blitz **Finished**
Okay... so WHO edited my post ??
I wrote ALAN for sure, especially as I noticed spitfire1677's comment above me. And I'm well aware of Alan aka Splash built this, not Shaun!
