re-opened the paint shed....

Loving the paints, Jamie, especially the tugs. You know me, anything with TT stripes is a winner :) Which means the idea of doing a new Boulton Paul Defiant TT model has been floating around my head for a bit.

Keep up the work, the Comet is a beauty and the paints are making her look even better.
 
Thanks Steve,

She's coming along, slowly, but still moving. The mapping is causing me nightmares, I've done my best to line things up, but when you have to try to match two separate gradients by eye, it's painful, lol. Times that by several for each decal/mirrored part, :isadizzy:

I've added a new prop tex front and back plus a custom blur to match, see pics below. The spinners and props are nice and shiny now as they are in the old photos too. Ineed to adjust lines/rivets on the nose bmp, they're to big'n'bold (forgot the bmp was half the size of the main one, D'oh!) But I'm pretty much done with the external texture & kit.

Riveting is one of those tedious, but ultimately rewarding tasks...I don't envy you, perhaps this is one of the nicer, or easier, at least things about Cold War jets; smoother panelling and flush rivets! Keep up the good work, all the pain and suffering look well worth it from those screens. The gleam alone on the props and spinners is lovely. Nice alpha channeling old boy!
