I guess so Peter! Id have thought you airbrushed that. Ive never done a car or anything as such so never invested in a airbrush kit. Plus its more intimate sitting under the spotlight and picking out details with the brush I think.

This! The feeling of calm and wellbeing I get from quietly painting stuff is imessurable.

Very true John. Its like being in a state of meditation with full attention on the piece your painting. I usually paint when no one is around if I can. I cant get into it when the kids are running around and there is noise around the house.

That's looking really good Chris, drybrushing is almost a forgotten art these days, so it's great to see a master at work

Thank you so much Patrick. But calling me a master is like gluing a horn on a pig and calling it a unicorn! I looked into these lil guys a bit and saw that they also mounted Katushya rockets on them. I almost was tempted , I think Grumpa has a spare Katushya laying around.

Looks good so far Chris.

Thanks Joe shes getting there. Im trying to decide if I want to load her up with equipment or leave her kinda bare.

looks great, especially I like the third picture, the tone is different (others look good too). Your you see it live, what would you say is the correct tone that is your "little tractor"?

Well I think it would look great with the Katushya rocket system on Chris.

I think the third pic just caught a different light at that angle. Live it looks like the other pics (for now)
