Your paint job looks really good Stuart. Gonna be a good looking Tiger when it’s done.

Very nice work Stuart!

The previous colors wear a bit bright. Nothing some weathering couldn’t tone down of course…

Yeah I'd done the wrong scheme - red primer instead of brown. It looks better like this although yeah, it will get toned down some.

Not too much bench time of late, but I have painted up the wheels.

Bravo, Stuart! Also it's very cool to see Wallace and Grommet share space with your work! I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your family a very happy and healthy holiday season! May your lives be filled by the joy of Christmas! I look forward to seeing where you go next on this.

Thanks Bruce - I hope you have a really good Christmas too!
I'll have to post up some pictures of the Wallace and Gromet Bike - I'm building it for my son as he's a massive fan.

Well do - it's an odd kit. The plastic is very odd, almost rubbery - trying to get off the many mould lines is quite a challenge.

IPMS Stockholm wrote a rather brutal review of the Wallace and Grommet double kit, the one containing the aeroplane as well. He didn’t mention the soft plastic but he did suggest he wouldn’t wish this kit on his worst enemy, which scares me off. That’s why I’m so curious!
