Hooray hooray for speed chargers!!

Pics ahoy:

Finished top of the UFO. Not sure if you can make out the two-colour pattern or the chipping/wear and tear. Basically sprayed with Halfords Matt Black and then a Halfords Silver (can’t remember which one) before brush painting the custom mix. After it dried I gently scratched with fine sandpaper to rub away the colour coat and show the silver. Made sure I always rubbed in the right direction (oo-er), towards the top centre, to get a feeling that it has made the trip to Earth and back to the Moon several times.

I then blobbed on ProModeller Dark Dirt wash, let it dry and then rubbed it off with a damp kitchen towel. On the second pass, I rubbed in the same direction (matron!) to get streaky burn-type effects.

And now a question: grille or no grille??

So far the opinion seems to be to include the grille – now I’ve just got to figure out how to attach it all on the inside …
