love seeing your work, BS
How did you do the aotake? I mixed the blue-green with acrylic hobby paints, then thinned it with future---more like tinted the future--to give it a sort of "see through" effect over the silver base coat

Almost the same way I used. On the silver base I paint thinned glossy clear enamel with few drops of blue - green mix

Looks mighty nice, BSY! Normally July is steamy hot, in the 90s both in temp and humidity. We have had 2 weeks or more of the same type of cold fronts that killed us this winter come through....dropped into the 50s this morning and highs in the low 80s. Sort of like being in Southern California!
