Wow - looking real good.

How'd you get the yellow line so precise with just a brush!?

Any pointers you have, I'd be glad to hear about.

cml- I modeled warhammer 40k miniatures for years and id you have seen them then you know they have tons of detail on something about 2-3 inches tall. Just years of doing that has helped me develop an unbelievably steady hand.

Wow - that is really really impressive. I tried to hand paint some the other day and it was just embarrassing. I'll have to practice a lot more I think.

One of the teicks I used was of course to apply future( the real ORIGINAL future, I bought like 4 bottles of it way back) then applied the decal, hit it with microsol and set then model master flat clear acryl. To help hide it even more, I went over the edges with more olive drab getting as close to the design of the decal as possible. That helped to hide all the edges and give the decal an even more painted on look.
