That is looking great! Go all the way to town with that weathering. Sci-Fi is such a thankful base for it.

And it’s exciting to see you work magic on the way, sincerely. You really know how to paint, and I mean that. Watching these colors slide on so cleanly is no joke a testament to hard work and superb control. I always like seeing your base coats because you really get great coverage without getting things laid on too thick. Cheers.

Well thank you Bruce! A lot of it has to do with the paints that I use now, the AK Real Air. They're perfect. There's been a lot of trial and error (more error than not) and I think I'm getting there. I'm still no where near what jkim and Fermis can do though, not even close.
