Cheers. :)

Not done much today, got a gloss coat on so I can start the decaling and also sprayed the jet nozzles. :smiling3:

The rest of the day I spent shooting, and was amazed to see Santa Claus pulling targets in the butts! So that's what he does in the summer. :tears-of-joy:

He's got to earn a living Bob. One day a year doesn't pay well ya know.
 
Hi Bob
Nice anti spill holder. Paintwork is looking great and the preshade has worked in a nice subtle way. I find preshading very difficult - poor airbrush skills as I usually obliterate it :sad: I have tried the MMpaint and thought it was excellent.

Cheers Jim. :)

Yes, the MM paint is proving excellent so far, I did find with the main colour that I over thinned it which makes it less opaque, but that actually worked in my favour as I could give it multiple thin coats which gave me more control on the coverage of the pre-shading.
 
Very nice paint job Bob, love the subtle pre-shading.:thumb2:
Oh and a great looking anti-spill holder you've made.:smiling:
Good luck with the decals.

Small update, made a start on the decals, I'm just doing a few at a time and taking it slow. On my A-10 build I think I did a poor job on the decals so I'm trying to improve. :)

Other than that I got a wash on the jet nozzles. I'm trying something new by using a heavily thinned acrylic ink wash, I think they came out alright.

Cheers Joe. :)

Slow going with the decals, I'm finding they are "grabbing" immediately and I'm then having a hard time maneuvering them into position. :thinking:
