I appreciate the kudos Mr Hotte, This build seemed to lack detail in some areas, and require more in others to make it work.
Thats the thing with following a period picture I suppose. :thumbup:

Good Morning,
Easy on with the weathering, Herman. You really have captured something here. Too much will take away the ineffable that you have achieved. It really is a Beauty.

Very nice job Herman,

I agree, no need for big weathering on this.... maybe a little pin wash, some pencil lead work and some watered down buff would be about all I would do to it if it were mine but honestly, it looks great just the way it is... :D
