I suggest semi-gloss for the biker. Judging from the box art he's wearing U-boat leathers! |

My thoughts exactly Tobi! I painted him with a satin black.A bit to shiney. |

Evening guys! The Kitty got an oiled earth wash this morning and just finished putting the Krycell snow on.I need to find a better adhesive than hair spray as it drys to fast for the snow to adhere to.Hope you like how it looks so far.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  006 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr BTW...I tried the precision ice and snow wash on the upper hull and it did'nt do what it was supposed to do.I think i got a bad batch.Plan B,I mixed some Krycell snow and liquitex gel to get the effects i was after. Thanks for looking! As always,ACW. |

Looking great Leon! You're right there at the finish line! Those trees look outstanding! As for the Ice and Snow...3M makes a few different spray adhesives that work well. For spot applications, you can use a brush to put the hairspray on which give you a little more working time.

Thanks Todd! Should have this finished tomorrow. I do have some 3M adhesive but it has a nasty smell to it.Think i'll give it a try in the morning outside before it gets to hot. |

Great work, I hope to have your skill someday. The tree really make this dio, they add the depth some dioramas are missing. Also, the trees are done extremely well.

Brent thank you Sir! As far as skills go,i've learned alot and still learning and trying new things.Trial and error are the way you learn. I have to agree with you on the trees.They really make the dio. |
