Then I saw this, wow, what a beauty! Of course it helps that the paint is flawless. Love this build, very clean. Cheers, Steve The green was supposed to be Frost Green but I ended up sending misleading pictures to the company that makes my paints. I the end I really liked the color ๐๐ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
