That would have been interesting to see when you airbrushed all those lines!

Looking good!

Must have taken hours to do this... Are you going to tone them down a bit later?

Thought about an oil filter after the clear coat. Or I could use the same green tones as a filter straight on top.

What'cha think? :hmm:

Maybe a rather thin overspray by the grey base tone?

Ah, ok, guess I was on the "woodway". :grin:

The contrast of the pic is a bit heavier than the real thing looks like. But you're absolutely right, a light mist of the base colour will tone that plate of spaghetti down a bit.

Thanks mate!

Thank you, Owl! Sprayed a light blue filter over all that curly wurly and a layer of stinking Future on top.

Today I cared for the decals.

The lighting also seems to have improved. Looks this much better now, especially with the decals on. Very close to the finish line now! :shoutout:

The camo is amazing. Makes me dizzy. I like this one a lot.

I love squiggly lined birds. Why the tail wings not on yet?
