Nice work. There seem to be a lot of clearparts, wouldn't it be easier to work with Micro Crystal Clear?

Dear Steven I could have used micro cristal clear but l prefer to use UV clear resin that ardens with uv light and give a "glass" look.
Thanks for looking and for your kind comment, stay tuned more to come

Great work! That island looks beautiful! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Would it be possible to add the UV windows after painting (they look very good!)? That would of course avoid a lot of masking. But maybe it needs to be done from the rear of the PE window frames?

Unfortunately it's impossible to reach the 3 structures so...masking tape would be my friend... :crazy:

That looks great, but the thought of painting it scares me! :heh:

Green stuff world clear UV RESIN. It 's a clear resin in a Black bottle that you place on a model in thin layers and then you harden it with UV light.
And that's it

I've been following your work since the start. This is some great work! Love how the island turned out and all the details you captured.
I've had problems accessing the site and being able to log in for the last few months so haven't been able to post comments.
Looking forward to seeing more!
