Father Primus,
I'll keep an eye for your future builds,Your colour scheme isn't one I'd use myself As the Austins in my collection are Series 3& (1918)3's and required a more conventionally expected colour scheme as they were used for advertisements. Although a lot of my work is commercially available (including my Austins) I'm fan of scratch builds.
Yours is a nice blend of re used model parts and recycling of card. Infact no one has ever noticed the 1918 used in the adverts isn't actually the product its 40% card
I'd not even made the master when the advert was due (made the master and the advert model at the same time ((you can tell by the rear mud guards))which is a similar method to your own,So it's a method that works and with practice no one will know how you made it(unless you tell them).
Fram mentioned that I'd done the odd card model,So I popped a new Thread on the 'Workbench' with some of last years card builds, it's intended to be a place to pick my brains (feel free too
) and a place to swap ideas and for people to post there own scratch builds if they want too.and to chip in ideas or ask how on earth to start a project.I hope you take a look and add your own thoughts.
Right back to your paint scheme ,while I'm waffling on I'm actually trying to think of a project just so I can have a crack at using it.
Mark.
