Suffice to say, David, this small project, a resin kit not tried before, is sensational. No music, no commentary and no subtitles equals no distraction from what is being viewed....great idea. I so look forward to seeing the notification that you have something for us....any clues as to what's next on the bench??

[@DavidAndrs80]

Thanks, Robbo! For the "what's on the bench" question. I created a twitter account for this kind of stuff. I am not big into social media, so IDK if this will work and how well. I am giving it a try, though. The link is in the about section here on my YT channel.

Oh. What a gem.. awesome build and weathering. Nice idea with sponge - first I thought you used chipping under green paint. Oh my... This one is so itsy bitsy... I started with my second model after 26years break also in this scale and found it to small for my eyes and hands... congratulations.

Thanks! I do like this model very much, so glad to hear you liked it. I use this (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VIG6TA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with the 3.5x magnification. Makes it much simpler to do such a small work. They go for about 20 bucks... Also, welcome back to the hobby!
