Thanks dude, too kind Ian! Just createx over reduced black with some red in it. then went over/around the main shaded parts with trans red then the main color of flo red. Toothpick with white for the highlight parts.
Really didn't like the design (was just given a pic to 'copy' although I did swith up the drips a tad to give em more flow) so thought I would try to make the whole design contain a bit of depth to add some pizzaz. Here's a side shot for you. (think you will enjoy the 'rcs' being featured in most of the shells now)
