Thank you Tom. There is so much to learn and if it were not for the kindness of our membership and their sharing of knowledge those of us just starting out would not get off the ground. Thank you all.

Stunning! But I just gotta ask - is that marbling or fractal art form work on printed media? The bird head and the black dot when enlarged make me wonder. For true please - on your scouts honor! Stunning either way!

Holy Smokes! I'm blown away. Its all paint. I found myself chasing the design because the rod was turning on the dryer. I think you have working time if you use a Flex Coat Slip clutch. I ordered one the day after this first try.

I also learned I need to pay attention to the richness of the colors. I'm going to search the forum to find just pigment. But the Testors will likely work.
