Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 1, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2013 Lovely. I like your weathering style. Really cool. Interesting fact is that it was named after a bird that was difficult to hunt. Even the word 'sniper' came from this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 1, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi Dave, I've got a question for you: since you build these kits for WnW as an example. Are you allowed to use aftermarket? HGW seatbelts? Gaspatch turnbuckles? etc?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 If its for the WNW website... Can't use anything that not is supplied in the box... But for myself... that a different story.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Looks like you did't use any buckles or eyelets, I like it. Looks different as opposed to the "mainstream" builds we have seen of late. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well that's not rubbish is it? Cracking build Dave .. love the weathering and the streaky oil. Regards, Grant "The Snipe" PS: Looking at the oil, did you know that most fighter pilots suffered from the most debilitating case of the "pharaoh's two-step" - it was because of all the castor oil that was vaporised and subsequently breathed in. Urgh!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_gn Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Again, consistently superb work. The subtle weathering works extremely well on this one - and I know from experience that it's difficult to bring a low contrast scheme to life. Would be nice to have a picture of your display cabinet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest styrenedemon Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I love your snipe and want to be sniped by it. The weathering on the underside is phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
