ta Joe,do real appreciate the nice words,

 

[eddiesolo]

again lad you over whelm me with such great comments,
make me feel all warm and fuzzy,i do real appreciate such nice words and dose real mean so much to me,


makes me so happy that you all do enjoy my work so much,


he was a fun build,


you know John/Ian i do feel the same way with this one,some about it that is far difference from the others,


maybe the use of color and not just grays/blacks, and it has life,unlike the others,


so glad that you like the top,John,and i did not think i could pull that one off,and im so glad it turned out well,


I did add a coat of vallejo gloss to his eyes,maybe a coat or 2 more mite do the trick,?


also i have herd about glass finish for eyes,but unable to track some down or know what there using ?


would be interesting to know what,

I think you have to be careful not to make the eyes look too glassy, trying to get that happy medium can be difficult.

I knew I must have just missed it. Again though fabulous job. The paintjob on the creature is just awesome. It makes me want to try a monster kit myself, but I feel my painting skills may be lacking for something like this.

do appreciate such nice comments,Chris,


well if you dont try you will never know i find it quite easy at times,sit down with


my fags and a coffee,maybe sit and look for some time,then just start,but need to have an idea in your head to go off


and i find i use the same methods as paint military
