the chest plate is layered and feathered, wanna say bout 7 shades from the deepest brown to the highest highlight.

It usually turns out nicely. go here for info on photos and how to post. http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30 They also have a testing forum for the pix.
Demono, Ron changed his logon and pw to his sight: logon - newfsm; pw - models. See if that works, I will check to see if you through them in there.
