I think this is the best paint job I've seen from you John. It's inspiring really, perfectly shaded and highlighted with great colors, rust effects and scorch marks.

He is very curious about what anyone is doing in his garden. he has a love-hate relationship with next door's cat. Yesterday I had to break up a squabble over a frog.<br /><br />JohnJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-87783028272727289492009-08-14T08:20:06.259+01:002009-08-14T08:20:06.259+01:00Is the basecoat purple?

Also the backpack and dirt to the right are cut on the kit for the 'visor' plate to fit. The problem is that the cuts are out of alignment so filler is needed.<br /><br />JohnJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-9427788488367615942009-08-14T03:13:58.833+01:002009-08-14T03:13:58.833+01:00Wow John,You did a really good job painting this I...Wow John,You did a really good job painting this IMO.<br />Interesting choice of purple for a basecoat but when finished it works very well.<br />I love how you got the rust to look all bubbly.<br />Is that an effect of the powders?<br />How did you achieve that?Will Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324842377402443887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-21787830059481553182009-08-14T03:00:41.272+01:002009-08-14T03:00:41.272+01:00You painted that up quite nicely.

When I saw the first pic I thought you had lost your mind and painted it purple and called it good.<br /><br />I like the paint layering, adds a worn look to it. Is that rabbit a pet or are you just swamped with em over there? I see rabbits in your pics from time to time but don't know if it is the same one or not.Big Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074939846436715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-84748592276041356532009-08-14T00:03:06.464+01:002009-08-14T00:03:06.464+01:00Good bunny.
