Thank you all for the compliments and suggestions. I am trying to learn/apply more painting and weathering techniques to each of my subsequent builds. I did get a couple of really good technique tips at the contest. Additionally, if any of you have any recommendations on what I should try or how to make my models better, please do not hesitate to share. I don't have an 'artist's eye' as all of the rest of you, but I am attempting to learn. If you care not to post in the thread, please send me a pm. I am always looking for pointers.
Stuart
