Uh, that is really tiny. Very elegant livery. Top modelling in this small scale.

What a beauty! The wood imitation is one of the best I have ever seen 👍
And your build log reminds me to make more use of self made rigs.

Hey thanks everybody for the kind words. I'm doing my best and hope to have it finished soon!
Spanjaard, regarding the wood effect: I sprayed a base coat of Gunze 'Sail Color' and then overpainted it with oils. I used roughly 1-part ochre to 2-parts raw umber and brushed that on with a small soft brush and sort of massaged it in. Thinning the oils a little bit works best. I then used a clean soft chisel-shaped brush to almost completely remove the excess to get the grain effect. After that, I set the piece aside to dry for a day or so and seal it with a coat of clear lacquer.
