Whatever works  :thumbsup:

Humbrol used to have 3 or 4 flesh shades in their Authentics range. I really must go through the box of tins I've got and see what's in there.

Painting of the scheme has begun.  I masked the Musketeer stripes and have painted the underside.

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

More coats will be required of the stone & earth but you can get the idea from this pic.
Nose is unpainted so I had something to hold onto.  Tail because I had to stop painting and take the dog out.

Any excuse.................  ;D ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Didn't know you had a dog ?  :unsure:

You could do the nose in grey/green and say it's a replacement ?

Hazel is a foster dog.  Her other family are on holiday so she comes here to learn bad habits.  Doing well so far.   :mellow:

More earth and stone paint today plus I unmasked the Mouseketeer stripes (which need some touch up).

Being a girl dog she gets a small glass of sherry...
;D

Main scheme paint on the Gnome is completed.  Next comes clear and then I am going to have to dig out some transfers.
The beauty of a 40 degree day is that if ones (acrylic) paint is of the consistency designed to be airbrushed from the bottle then provided one brushes it out quickly enough it dries so rapidly that one can get five different colours painted in one day.
I still need to arm her though.  I have some 60lb rockets but I am not sure there is enough space for them.  SNEBs and napalm tanks might be more period correct but I do like the idea of the weapons also coming out of retirement.

Not 5 colours, but I had something similar happen during our summer when we got high 20's/low 30's, so I can just start to imagine what it's like when it reaches the 40's

That looks so cool!!  One might think the yellows wouldn't work right together but it is the opposite!

The way that this build is progressing, it could become one of the earliest 2021 Whiffy nominations!

Very cool.  :thumbsup:

But the important question is: what kind of dog?  ;D
