Although it maybe hard to see,I have added a mix of burnt sienna and burnt umber to the boots.The pants were given a couple of thin coats of burnt umber to warm up the color and tone down the shine.The tunic was toned down using a wash of carbon black.The leather jacket was shined with good old nose oil to enhance the leathery look.I think that I will change the fur collar from fox red to wolf grey.The barnstormers leather helmet will be black leather.
I have come to the conclusion that this diorama will not be finished this year,as I estimate that there is at least anothers years work to do if I decide to stop at the main hangar and its modules.I have yet to start the engine shop module which will contain an OX5 and Mercedes engines that are yet to be built.If I decide to add a radio shack and out buildings ,who knows how long that will take?
Oh well,I try to keep my perspective by working on each piece as something worthy in itself of my best effort ,that way I dont become overwhelmed with what is left to do.I have parts and pieces of this diorama laying about all over my workshop just waiting to be added .When it finally comes to putting it all together it should go pretty fast.I hope! Cheers. John.
