Spacex Nova Workshop Stage 2

Modelmeister Kevin Davies continues his show and tell on the production of the Spacex Nova Rocket!
"Next stage with the model was to add chrome parcel tape to the SRB's to give them that chrome look. I then added a bit of black paint to some raised details and some slight weathering. 
 Having sprayed the nose orange, I did some weathering by scribbling on a post-it note with a 2B pencil, then laying the note against the model and rub off some pencil with a finger. This then needed sealing with spray lacquer. 
The SRB's were then glued in place and the nozzles for the main engines were easy, they were aluminium bezels from some old lights I'd bought years ago for another project. They fitted perfectly and just needed glueing in place.
I added detail to the rocket with black biro lines, letraset, metallic parcel tape, car striping tape and decals from old kits. Thus, I finished it! However, it is now too dark to photograph it! I hate the Winter!"
