so yah, got a little burned out there will all the projects I was working on. Sometimes my eyes are too big for my stomach! :bag:

But decals! SO. MANY. DECALS!
The sheet provided full stenciling, but seeing as I hate stencils, I split the one sheet 'twixt the two birds

and with the eventual wash

I left them dirty seeing, as in the game, you are flying constant missions against an occupying force. Not much time for cleaning when you are defending your homeland, eh?

Owl! Lovely work there!!! I see that you do something that I thought only I was doing and that is using old pill bottles to mix and store paint. I have found that they come in super handy! A quick question, what are you using for your clear coat?

I like the Ace Combat aircraft and used to play it religiously on my Xbox 360, then my son took it over and I dont use it as much.

Cant wait to see the finished results.
