Here is the 1st civil war kit I've made. I used olive wood from down under and filled the voids with turquoise. The finish is CA with some hut wax to complete.

Hut wax over CA? I've never heard of doing that before, but the end result looks really nice!
That's not my normal finish process either Joe, but I wanted to tone it down a bit for this kit. My norm. is about 10 coats of CA, wet sanded up to 12000 grit and finished with a bit of plastic polish. On this one I wanted to put enough CA on it to seal off the open grain and the turquoise fillers. About 6 coats, and then sanded it up to 1000 grit dry. The Hut friction wax was then applied and buffed up to a nice shine.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
