Re: Star Wars Awesomeness
Ok..so i'm either colour blind or somethin went arseways im naming this the what can go wrong will go wrong..
the red split on me cos i made it too thin and tried to darken by hand with a dirty red..didnt work..ill do em again tomorrow
then put the lighter greys on..and they look green (the bottle is top left of this pic..and in fairness the hull doesnt look this cold white in day light at all, its closer to this grey) but somehow the panels look green? got a new lightbulb today, hoping its that?
first go at the airbrush properly..shoulda done a pratice run on something else..happy with the grey panels apart from them lookin green

I was obviously trying to be funny on the Internet, but it was also a sincere question. I knew you were really good with your hands, what with the woodworking and model building, and I know you watch a lot of Star Wars movies (heehaw), and It seems you have a cozy little home and a nice sidekick of a dog, but what do you do?
