No it's not, I've been to your house and you have it proudly displayed on your workbench, your not fooling anyone you know.

Are you going to leave off the wheels and lay it on the ground,your colour look's like its has more shine on it now once you finnish weathering it it will look better.

I think I will leave the wheels off, I might take a brake drum off to expose the pads.
I have dusted a coat of flat white to dull the paint, will get pics up tomorrow!

no wheels and dull paint ...are u takin shortcuts ? Wink

I would just have the backing plates with no brake shoes as they would be removed by someone looking for parts. Smile

Got a little done today,
I have faded the pink and added some BMF.

Wow - that looks really cool Shoey. You are the master of weathering (and all types of building when i think about it....)

Been a bit slack posting pics,
the drum brake has about 16 pieces to it.
and the seat was made using a hair combe
to weave copper wire through for the springs.
still to make them look rusty.

Neat! Why does your detail stuff always look so real and un-shiny? Do you use flat paints or something?
