A real beauty as usual.

Hope you're feeling better, Joe.

I honestly can't think of any more accolades to pin on your work Joe. Your finished builds are always the cat's pajamas.

Joe, 

im very impressed. Someone mentioned quality and consistency in your builds, and I can’t agree more. 

I bought some water colors and made my own washes a few weeks back. The wash looks ok... but there’s no chance of streaking. I’m learning that enamel or oil washes are the way to go. Could you remind me of your process for your washes? It’s so good. 

Thanks!

Thanks guys,

Greg, I am feeling better...thanks bud.  

Max, On this one I used AK Interacive Dark Brown enamel wash for the panel lines.  I used their Panzer Grey Streaking fluid for the streaks.  I used Alclad Aqua Gloss as a barrier.   It turned out ok, but I think I will return to Flory for NMF's in the future.
