Hi all, well we have come to the end. A few odd thoughts:

You know how it is when you take something apart and put it back together again and you are left with a few spare screws, you cant help thinking where the hell do they belong ? So why are there so many screws left over after this build !!

What difference does it make what make of batteries are used, X volts from a battery pack is X volts, regardless of where it comes from ?

Why after spending so much money on this build are there soooo many problems with getting it to work correctly for so many builders.

Now the final question I am having real problems in answering. I have a brand spanking new 200 quid airbrush but for the life of me I cant decide whether to to do the looks like it does in the film or leave it all clean and new looking. Ahhh decisions, decisions

Hi with regards to the weathering, as Andy has said the choice is yours, but be mindful that if you use an airbrush, cover up the sensors first as it may effect its opporation should they get paint on them.
You could always try out the weathering kit here.
