Brandon, I first painted the beast in desert yellow: 2 thin layers. I then started to work with olive green painting thin wrinkeling short green lines with a fine brush. After that I dotted the lines to make them in a irregular pattern. This took ages and I had to stop each time after an hour because I started to see blotches and dots everywhere ;-) Then I added the brown paint. After that I applied a thin layer of gloss varnish, applied the decals and finally secured it all with a sprayed a layer of matt varnish. The whole job took a lot of patience, but hey: I did it!

What a great model!

Do you ever look at the Stormo Magazine site? It's cool and along the lines of what you've done.

Expert work!

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

An outstanding model! From seeing your work in the past, I noticed that you have a unique collection. Do you have a picture of all your builds together?
