It is always sooo inspiring to see the quality of fine workmanship that regularly appears on this forum. It gives me something to aspire to and work to achieve in my model work. Anyway, superior work Hauk.

And you have some modellers that it indeed IS  a shame to cover all that delicious metal with paint.

The Italian master modeller Attorio Mari is one that comes to mind:

I have mentioned him on this forum before, but perhaps some of you have missed it:

Yes, I feel the same way. Especially when the model consists of a combination of brass, nickel silver and steel, I think it's almost a shame to cover everything with paint.

Quote from: Bill Gill on November 26, 2023, 06:37:42 AMGosh, that looks good, Hauk.

Thanks Bill!

One of the reasons I really enjoy building in metal is that the work Looks great even in the pre-paint stage.

In fact, I sometimes think models look better in bare metal than painted!
