That concludes this weeks update. Fitting these planks is very satisfying, adding a nice change of palette after several weeks of painting and weathering. Rewind that last sentence, I've just worked it out and it's actually 5 months of painting and weathering!Blink

Thanks for looking in, have a great weekend [lighter evenings from Sunday] and happy modelling.BigGrin

Phil W.

Great start to your planking Phil, nice to see some non-grey bits and I'm sure it's instilled some extra interest in the project for you by doing something different. FIVE months ... Wow!!... that's a lot of dedication and well done you for pushing on with it, most would have given up ages ago! Cool ThumpUp
