Thanks Ian. It does look better in the flesh brighter and much more depth than the photo shows.

I'm painting in the garage at the moment, I found myself using the Agama as a convient airbrush holder while I was drying the shell this week, that's not good is it. Like those ikea adverts, I really must tidy up !

[The Chef]

Thank you Jon but I'm Still chasing those perfectly sharp crisp lines.

You look like you're doing okay to me.

Maybe you should do a more simple design, 3 colours with a different colour pinstripe to pick out the shapes, no fancy effects just colours, maybe a fade or 2, no stencils ? It might make things look cleaner ?

Concentrate on the shape of the design rather than the effects within it. See if that changes things ?

I like your designs because you have so much going on but at the same time I think if things are quite busy they're not as clear. It might not work at all, just a theory though, you won't know unless you try.

[jonmiller]

aye, have a go at simplifying things. try laying your paint thinner and making sure it is properly heat set in order to crisp up some of the lines

[The Chef]

One from tonight, had an issue with the dark area ment to be dots as requested and seemed to attract paint via static so had to get a little creative to cover it up I quite like it though looks super clean up front and like a scared fighter at the rear.

[U1timate PigDog]

That looks a lot cleaner, I like the effects you have done and they work well with the design.

I like the way it doesn't look like you've used a stencil on the red and it blends well into the body. Nice touches and Good work you should very pleased with that.

Looks awesome mate!

[eyeayen]

YOUR BEST ONE YET Chef !!!

Really impressed, you've nailed this perfectly. Good balance of colours, well executed, looks fantastic ! Your stuff is quite busy normally but this is much crisper and cleaner looking, it works better because of that.

Come on then, where's your 8th shell...
