Thank you.  The gold "fabric" parts were just painted gold and then I very carefully filled int he panel lines with my very fine tip pen.  I still havn't tried an oil wash but I think it would have been easier.  My pen nib gets stuck in the future but maybe an hour isn't enough for it to dry right. 

The colors were all Tamiya acrylics.  I think the bottom was chrome and the top was clear red.  I wanted him shiny so I didn't dull the future at all.  I'd love to hear your tips because I will definately try another candy scheme in the near future. 

Whoa, that's pretty cool. Very complicated looking. Jumped right back in w/ a roar, didn't ya?

The stitching(?) on the shoulder and hip armor turned out real nice.

For the candy red, did you use metallics? Enamels or Acrylics? I know some tricks to make things appear brighter, but it only works w/ acrylics...

Nice job.
