Exhaust collector ring for the Pegasus X used on the Vickers Wellesley, done with a bronze Sharpie marker. To my eyes it replicates the burnt metal appearance quite nicely.

It certainly does, one of the best solutions to that problem I've seen.  :thumbsup:

Certainly the easiest! It fits Bailey's First Law (humbly named after myself): Necessity may be the mother of invention, but laziness is usually the father.

So will I, looks briliant
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Are there two? Pretty sure mine just says bronze.

Just checked mine, and it does say bronze metallic.
