It's probably best to do other projects for a while, experiment with other techniques, etc. and then come back after you feel comfortable with a different approach. I wouldn't attempt any re-do until you feel that light bulb go off and know exactly what it is you don't like and comfortable knowing you can make it different. Until then just enjoy it - it will be there when you're ready.

You're right there Doug!Theres no point at this stage trying to change it.I gotta actually learn how to do the weathering first or it'll be re do after re do.I don't even think it's a hard thing to do,well i'm sure there is still a trick or two ta do it but basicly i've just never given it a go.All it is is weathering with oil's.Seeing what Gene did with that SS one over on RI and also Sean's big bird has me wanting to get that awesome effect before adding the pastels.
I guess i'm just fucking slack and again i really don't have any real method of doing anything i do.That's where all the arse come's into it!!

I can't remember the last time I've heard any builder say how happy they were with their own work, or that they couldn't have done better.
That's actually part of what I consider to be behind those who are good- they keep striving to do better.
But as an impartial observer I can tell you that you did a damn nice job! And, while you can be proud of this one , knowing you as I do, I'm sure we can all expect more great things to be coming from your bench!

Thanks DD,we'll see what we can do mate,but at present,between US we've got a pretty good looking A Wing happening!
If one of us pull's our finger out it'll be looking even betta real soon.That'd be a feathered one i guess,so it rules me out!
I think you are right,us modeler's are always striving to be betta.With all the fantastic work's we all get to see,it's easy to be inspired to improve oneself.I have found a lot of self satisfaction can be had when something goes right!

Oh!

I missed this post till now?
Hmmmm, guess that explains the feather up me bum?

BTW: I'd be among those who'd love to see you do another 'similar' one to this. Maybe a different kit, or different markings? But I can agree when you say it's 'ackward' to have two identical. It's like children. You really shouldn't play favorites!
