The neck bolt is circled to draw your attention to it. Wonderful, accurate detail!

Your first, and hopefully more to come, submission to the Gallery. GREAT paint job.

Very convincing. How did you do the paint?

Please let me know if you can see this album. It's supposed to work even if you are not on Facebook. In the photos, I have descriptions of the different paints, techniques I used to make this look this way. I left out that I used Vallejo Chrome to for the metal and eyes.

If the link doesn't work for you, please tell me. I retype and upload the photos separately.

That's a beautiful bronze finish!
To my eye, the silver areas are somewhat distracting from your overall bronze finish.
Just my opinion. For what it's worth.
The bottom line is if you like it, it's good.

Thanks. I know it's a bit distracting, and I may try to tone that down somehow ( I know, you'll say, just bronze over it. ;) :D ).
