Still working on Wrightsons Frank kit.

When I did mine, I painted the glassware black, did glazes of the color I wanted, and then did a very light glaze of silver for the reflection. It's very dark, but I painted the whole kit with a dark atmosphere.

That sounds interesting. Do you have any pictures to share?
