Still checking in, too. Outstanding work all they way.

Most of the paint on the pods will be ripped off by the crash landing anyway. For this and other reasons they'll just be the same color as the underside.

Ah ok - that sounds like a good Idea!

Hi Lyle, glad to see you're still following too. It's funny, I thought I had posted that very sentence already but just now, seeing Portman's latest post, I saw that I didn't. Maybe I forgot to press the "submit" button or something. There were pics of the upper side camo color too. Well, let's remedy this right away! Here they are.



The color is a 50/50 mix of the the 2 paints on the below pic.



The next step is one more color and this where it all comes together. Stay tuned!

Very nice - put some green smoke rings on it and it could pass for italian!

Indeed. But I have something else in mind. You'll see...

These pastel tones really suit that little racer. Curious what comes next.

Let me introduce the lizard falcon! You can see it here, basking is the hot sun in its natural habitat of white Sahara tiles!













Hope you like it!

That's cool. Looks quite menacing.

Thanks Lyle. It should look even meaner now, after 'aging' and 'sun-fading' the paint with the airbrush and removing the liquid masks.
