Gary,
Nice job! Your airbrush work is fantastic. Did you shoot the green first and then the brown? Or large brown spots and then green centers?

Hello Kevin, Thanks my friend!
I sprayed the brown pattern then filled in with green. I practiced last night and liked that method much better. I was honestly nervous but when I get goin it just all came together better than i hoped.
Cheers,

Gary your camo is great! How many models have you painted to get to that level?

Hi Luke, Ive been modeling about 5-6 years, but ive built ALOT of models in that time. Id say maybe...25-30. I had my nephew teaching me some techniques, tips and airbrushing from day one and it made my learning curve much easier. It also helps that i have great airbrushes. My main workhorse is an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS, and my detail/camo airbrush is an Iwata High Performance B-Plus. I have a Badger 150 but its relegated to ground/base work duty...not a very precise piece of equipment IMHO.
Thanks Luke,

Gary: Just give up my friend. Clearly you have no business in this hobby. (I jest.)
Another stunning work from you. You should give Dragon a call.
Happy Modeling, -zon
