Excellent!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks lads! The clocks ticking!

 

[Biskup]

The tarp looks great Will you make any wholes and rope to tie it down ??

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks Biskup! Yup rope starts soon, but it was held down from the inside, then onto to the outside if that makes sense? So no need for holes....few!

 

[Biskup]

Yup makes perfect sense Thou you still need to add rope

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks DK!
Ok guys, I'm not %100 happy about the rope but its on....I can't tighten it anymore because it's glued :-X But as I say it's on and its too late in the comp to start faffing about lol.....well if you lot think I can do it I may go back in....


Rolled up rear tarp:

And started on the base, a picture frame with insulation board cut into shape.

It definitely looks cool John, love the straps hanging down
I do agree with you about the rope, the way I look at it if theres doubt in your mind, go back and fix it......but thats my OCD, thats why it takes me so long to make anything, ha

[Dark Kyp]

That rope doesn't look that bad!

You could perhaps add a bag or somthing on it to cover the areas you don't like!

 

[JohnSimmons]

Thanks John and DK for your honesty, I spoke to Laura as well and she said it's not right yet. So as I said I couldn't tighten the ropes because like a dummy I CA'd them : So I gave them a AK DAK Wash and I think they have at least blended them in if not fully curing the problem. I also added some splashed mud and a super thinned down DAK Wash on the tarp.



Had an RTA!

 

[Jaitea]

Beautiful additions John, amazing work....as usual

Very well done. The scratch building is excellent. I very much like the lead tarp and the paint scheme of the tarp captures the folds very well making it look realistic.

You gotta be kidding me! Finished after 2 weeks? Nuts, man! Nuts!
