Gary, what I am about to say... I say from experience... very recent experience. That is simply gorgeous. And I am in awe of the gentle curves you have achieved. You must have very steady hands.

Gary, that's a wonder  I love those streaks, they look perfect. Given tose tanks were used on small islands, sea salt would rapidly oxidize all that wasn't perfectly sealed, so rust would easily take its toll |

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

sublime result Gary! I really envy you mate! You always obtain a great result without heavy weathering, something which I find not so easy! Superb!
Cheers

Top notch work Gary. I posted the pics in the MoM btw. Still can't believe that was hand painted and not masked/ab'd.
