Rider Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) This was/is nothing more then an experiment of different paint techniques on one subject. It is rather wacky and busy that is for sure. I learned and tried quite a bit of new techniques to me. Some of these will find their way onto future builds. All said and done close to 30 different shades/colours of paint went into this. Thanks for looking in. Say what you will about the look. Edited July 27, 2016 by Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
