    Some progress that has taken much longer than i anticipated!! :flushed:...
    Due to being being brush painted it`s taken several coats to get just this far.... and that`s still before the black edging has been applied!!:dizzy:.....

    Still good fun,allbeit a little fiddley to get a decent,(ish),look with a hairy stick!! Mind you,once the Black is on,and with some light weathering later,and a wash or two,it should tie up nicely ?!!
    That`s it up to now,more to come over the weekend i`m hopin`!!
    Cheers,
    Andy

        Hi Andy
        Nowt wrong with that camo. It looks very good. As you say the black lines will make it pop and then a bit of weathering to tone down the starkness and tie it all together and I reckon you will have cracked it.

            Looking rather fine Andy. As Jim says, weathering will tie this together and the black lines will define the areas nicely. It’s a very interesting subject and you are more than doing it justice.

                    Great work on the camo pattern. I used a Sharpie fine point for my black lines and it worked well.

                      Sure beats trying to hand paint those little black lines!

                            Steve , we could go back to a mortar and pestle and make our own paints , now that would be even more fun that gluing plastic or using a pen !

                                You`ve only gone and blown my cover mate!!:astonished:.......
                                If you look at the early attempts of this camo that i did on the sides,behind the wheels,you`ll see the Black lines there.
                                I was waiting until posting the pics of the finished scheme,and after the viewing Millions had said "Andy!!.... How on earth did you manage to paint those Black lines so superbly thin and consistent?":flushed:.......
                                THAT was the point where i was gonna fess up and admit to using this..........
