Hey gang,
Well I finally unmasked my pack last night and today after work I started the weathering. Im about 80% done with the weathering, then all I need to do is knock out the rocket and nozzles. Before I did any weathering you don't know HOW HARD it was to accept that the orange from the wal mart list was the correct paint to be using. I kept looking at it for a long time, thinking the pack looked too dark, and contemplated several times re-masking with and going over that orange with dark yellow. I but my lip and proceeded with leaving it alone. Only until I got most of the chipping and dirtying done did I realize that the colors were in fact right. I guess it took the lightness of the silver to give it that right look and Im VERY pleased with the work I have so far. I would appreciate any feedback towards my paint work if possible.
Attached are of course the before (primered 'glass) and what Im up to now in the after shot.

Chris
