Fine work McB, excellent collection. I'm gonna have to wait till I retire before I try acrylics instead of oils. It's almost an anathema for me to think against my trusty oils, HA!

Steve, thanks a lot buddy. I actually used both Acrylics and Oils especially on the Tank Commander. I used Acrylics for all the base colors and simple highlights and Shading, then used Oils to Blend everything in. Worked great for me.  Nico, thanks my man, i appreciate it! |

Worked great for me. Mr. McB, I was thinking of using a bit of acrylic over a finished oil to add minor highlights, otherwise I'd be using an oil filter, which has a tendency to fog or over do the affect. In otherwords, ya gotta be real careful using an oil filter, lol. Whatcha think Bro?
Cheers, Ski.

Wingin or not, you got talent Son! lol. Yes, after the seal coat I went back over my Sub figure and did a few filters, just diluted enough to leave a trace.
Ruck On Bby!
