Very nice! Whose list are you using?

Got some green on the dome. I haven't finished the back panels yet, but I just couldn't stand it. I had to get some green on there!
Once again, the colors look a little off to me, so I may take it outside tomorrow and shoot it in the sunlight and do some white balancing on it.
Looking good so far! Is there some masking fluid in the dent?
I completely understand the anticipation, but you gotta make sure you pace yourself, don't rush it, and force yourself to step back once in awhile. It helps to keep you from having to redo things 2 and 3 times.
Looking great so far! Did you end up using the POG for the main green?
Looking good! I've been hitting the lower cheek along with the dome and then mask the lower cheek line with that thin tamiya tape with thicker over it and do a few light passes of black to keep the bleed down. I don't know how superjedi does it with a brush...must be tapping into the dark side of the force.
No doubt on the brushing, very Sith-like. Next thing he'll be using Force lightning to do the cat scratch! Yeah, I'd have been home free if I would've airbrushed the black on, but live and learn. Overall, I'm happy with my first attempt. One of these days I'll have pro painter stripes like you guys!

Looking good! Don't worry about the sweat. . . it's more weathering.

You guys are cracking me up.
I owe a lot of the success with brushing to the paint itself. Polly Scale paints are great at self-leveling, and they're very pigment heavy.
So they go on smoothly and don't require more than a couple of light/medium coats to give good coverage.
Those back panels look pretty nice!
Where are you located again? I know the humidity does weird things to paint!
