wagoneer Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Really nice colour there, a great deep shine too. From your pictures it looks like you're painting outside, is the cold not making it difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Everything I see looks great. Beautiful paint. I would say that most experienced modelers on this forum recommend painting all body parts at the same time and in the same way. Don't know if you did that or not, but your posts indicate you painted them separately at different times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stulee11 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I did paint them all together at first because i also read that on here. But i still got the crazing on them parts but not the body... but thanks for the advice and the comment buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
