Thought I would show a few shots of where I am at in this group build. Dio is laid out, vehicle wheels need to be glued on, then the whole thing weathered and painted. Base needs to dry. Figure painted. I am also waiting on one more mail order figure. So easy to say I have a ways to go. Without further ado here we gooooooooo! #:-)

Nice!
And hey - how did you get that neat "washed sky" effect on the second photo? (spilled coffee, I'm betting!)

Thanks and as time allows I hope to keep updates coming..Spilled sky was achieved by spilling coffee! Not an easy one to pull off.Practice and you to can achieve that look.

So this "coffee technique".... worthy of an article in itself I bet! Instead of a "wash" you did a "splash" (or would that be "spill"?)
