                        I like the effect that you achived bish.  I love using the MIG pigments and found the nightvision DVD a great help in the use of them.

                        Once again great work on you Char.

                        Thanks again for the interest and feedback gentlement, I really appreciate it. 

                        I entered "Bourrasque" in the 2009 IPMS Reno High Rollers annual model contest.  There was some stiff competition this year and I was very pleasantly surprised when it took 1st place!  Make a Toast [#toast]

                        Congrats on the first place. I remember this one and also recall that i commented that the finish was overdone for my personal taste or something like that. Shows how much i know.

                        Well done

                        Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.  It's been a tough year with my knee surgery and a bit of a cancer scare, so my modeling time had been pretty limited.  Things are going well now and I'm gettin' back into the groove!  Smile [:)]

                        Ya, at the time I was a little discouraged but decided to listen to your critique and spent a good part of Friday night toning down some of the weathering by brushing just plain turpenoid over and over the entire tank, especially on the hull sides, gently washing some of the pigments off to make the underlying camo stand out more.  Your advice has paid off and got me my first "1st Place"!  Make a Toast [#toast]
