| Kit Building Diary 2004 |
| I decided to keep a Photo Diary, of the day to day process of building, more than one kit at a time, you will probably notice I dont work to any set plan or routine,I tend to just go with the flow, dependant on my mood at the time, I hope you enjoy this project, and hopefully it will give some insight into how I work and the methods i use, in pursuit of my beloved hobby thank you for looking.

| I started on the flesh tone I started in pic1 by brushing flesh tint FW artists ink then dabbing with a damp cotton ball to remove some of the colour, I am looking for a blotchy complexion, in pic two, I used a wash of, burnt umber ink mixed with a little white, to darken the shadows once again I dabbed with cotton wool Pic three I have gone back to the original flesh tone and once again washed and dabbed, I still have some way to go before the flesh colour is right more soon M A |

| More of the same realy I added the blotches (liver spots) then washed again until I got the Look I am after the flesh is more or less done now, I decided to get this part finished first, because once the figure is glued to the base and the Seam filled it will be far to bulky and heavy to handle, more soon M A |
