Thanks for your kind comments.
Had a slow night waiting for the Micro-Sol to work it's magic so I played around with some different weathering techniques I saw on Scale Model Medic on Youtube.
I used a make up sponge to dab some silver onto the rotor blades. I figured they could get pretty mashed up with flying debris close shaves with trees etc. so I put a lot on there. Then I gave it a dark brown wash to tone it down a bit.
I tried the hairspray technique on the skids and it was really simple, again see the Youtube link.
The decals are bedding down but it's taking a lot of coats 'cos of all the rivets, but it's getting there. Looking forward to sealing them all in and getting stuck into some oil paint weathering (another first for me).
Comments welcome, cheers for looking.
