Yesterday I airbrushed on a coat of Future

Image

Decals applied today... in case you are wondering, the Flotilla Panther is from the kit decals, but the commanders initials are cut apart, letter by letter, from 1/35 ammunition stencils from a Dragon figure set [:|]

Image

Image

to get an idea how small this stuff is, here is a US Nickle for comparison

The 2nd speechless ! :-)

Amazing, so tiny, those smallest pieces cannot be more than 1 or 2 mm wide ?

You airbrushed this tiny S-Boot with Future? :shock: This is small enough to be covered by a single drip...
Nice detail to have the KCK letters applied!

:lol: Yes, but it took a few extra drops... I still have to do washes on this little baby, so the whole thing needed the few drops of Future that I could spare from bigger projects.

Tomorrows plan is flat coat, drybrushing, and call this one done...
