Hi Pete
Looking good. Great progress.
Shame about the bully at the park. Next time wait until he's playing football and let his bike tyres down.

Hi I have found if you cut the brush square you get a much better finish and a drop of water may help to and apply in thin coats.

Not really had a problem with the application just the mixing takes a long time, it might be because I don't use a airbush, just use to hairy sticks all the time or just luck.

My brush updated.


After two coats, not to bad.




This is has had just one thin coat






Thank you for looking in.

Hi got the second coat on last night and laid down the camo pattern it's only the first coat so a bit wishy washy.





The beginnings of camo pattern.
