You’re a dab hand at anything you turn your hand to. Best bit for me now would be getting rid of that shine

Ok........horrid shiny stage done with, A final gloss coat was applied to seal all the decs this was then followed by a Flory wash both topside and underneath, had a bit better success with it this time, this has now had a couple of coats of Vallejo Matt varnish.........also the spinner is done albeit a couple of small decs to apply, it`s only dry fitted so won`t be a prob..
Cheers folks

If you can get the water thinable 'oil paints' from Windsor and Newton you can use them. Drying time is longer than Flory but you can also use them for pin wash too. They're my go to now for anything like this.
