One down!



Finally finished one of the things!

It came out fairly nice, not great. This one was painted when I was most feeling the difficulty of painting red, and so the frame is mostly metal. I'm fairly happy with the rust effect I've got on the skids, and I've got some nice scratch effects on there (maybe could use a couple more). The transfer worked out fine on the rear wing, too. Not really happy with the exhaust coloring (or rather, I've got it just right at the end, but it transitions straight to "too shiny"; I should probably get in there more with the black wash and dull it down, see if I can smooth it out more).

And there's a bunch of itty-bitty stuff here and there, but honestly, at my skill level you hit a point where going back in there, you're as likely to mess something up as fix it.

Five more to do, and they shouldn't actually take too much longer - the metal parts go a lot quicker than the red, and they don't have as much metal on them. I'm hoping I can get two more done by the end of the weekend.
