My somewhat unfinished entry....still missing the highlighting work on faces, building and machines, more track weathering and a matt coat...but not too bad. I can't get that stuff finished tonight because the oil washes will take at least a day to dry, so it is what it is.Readers should be aware that these models are 1/76th scale....which in three dimensions makes them a mere 1/8th the size of Poor Old Spike and Airborne Bob's 1/35 pieces.
