And here's my second go around. Not 100% accurate by any means, but it was still a lot of fun to do.

Looks beautiful man.Great job!!!!

I like your paintjob. Did you repaint your first bucket, or is that a new one?

This is an M_S 3. My first one was an M_S1. New bucket, same approach.

Fantastic work. That's an awesome paint job !!

Looks awesome, if I may suggest it needs a shot of dull coat.

Well it may not be 100% accurate <yeah and like I'd know what was > But it's still a damned good paint job, Very nice work indeed, my hat is well and truly tipped to you.

Great job! That's such a difficult paint job to do.

Very awesome paint job right there. Please don't feel ashamed to post pics of it ... it looks very accurate if ya ask me!

Thanks for the compliments guys! After I looked at the pics, I remembered I forgot to attach the borden connector.

my friend that is looking very good (the first was good but your skills have increased 100%).

well done

Yeah... That was my first thought too. It could also use a light misting to tone the green down a tad... But... Its still a great lookin' bucket nonetheless. Good job.

OK, here comes a silly question. What exactly is dull coat? I know what it does, but I looked around at a few places and I couldn't find anything labeled as dull coat, is that what it's called? The helmet does look shiny in the pics, it might have something to do with all the snow/glare.

Dull Cote is a matte finish made by Testors... You can get it in the model section at Michaels.

Thanks for the help. I found some today, removed the visor and gave it a once over, and it looks much better.
