Thanks everyone for the kind comments

Edo , sorry that I didn't get to your question sooner . The squiggles were rather easy to do . I spray the cowl Vallejo Metal coat Alum and let it dry for a few days . I then used Vallejo Metal coat Dark Alum placing a few drops in a pop cap . Using a very fine brush I started making half circles and sqigglies and all over the cowl parts . I didn't practice on anything either , just jumped right in with both feet .
