Thanks Peter ! I used acrylic craft paints I picked up at Michael's . A couple of coats of Ivory on the skull then sprayed with some Dull-Cote . Then I mixed a wash using some Raw Umber and applied a few coats until the desired effect was achieved .
The chrome is excellent in this kit , some of the best I've ever seen in a kit . Considering Atlantis doesn't normally do kits with any chrome this is a pleasant surprise ! The stickers are also excellent , the adhesive sticks immediately so there's no second chances here . Better get it right the first time !
