after several months of deliberation and realising that i would probably be pushing up the daisies before Amati eventually release their large Victory model, I have just pulled the trigger on a ZHL Soleil Royal and, even though I only ordered it ten minutes ago, am impatiently waiting for China post to bring me my model!
I am toying whether to do a build log but am unsure as I am nowhere near the art produced by the many ultra talented "kit bashers" and at the moment am a purely "out of the box" modeller.
My only previous experience are two Caldercraft models, Victory and Agamemnon and these were also built out of the box.
Unskilled as I am, I will not hesitate to pick the brains of the artists on here for hints and tips.
On that note, has anyone tried/considered using artificial gold leaf for the decorations? I did toy with gold leaf but once i saw the price I quickly changed my mind. does anyone have an opinion on this method as opposed to painting?
Many thanks for reading my war and peace length post and I hope someone will answer and I may even do that build log!
Now , wonder when the postman will get here!
thanks in advance
