Sparx, thanks. Nice new lid ya' got there, as well. I've been meaning to ask, how did you achieve that webbing effect?

Dabbed the flour green with a plastic wrap formed into a wrinkly ball, then sprayed 1 quite heavy layer of flour green and lastly backed with white, easy but effective

Alright - this is my 3rd and 4th body i have painted with an airbrush - after this run, i just ordered an Iwata HP-CS - this paasche just can't get the fine detail...
It was fun...i used for the first time the Faslucent paint for my darker pink - it was very thin, had to put many coats and i still managed to not get it right.
Just FYI - the pink is for my wife and the green/yellow is mine...

That is one awesome looking body. That would look good painted on a mini cooper body.
