It's looking good.

Good luck with the blotching.

It's taken me about an hour to do half the blotches, and it'll need at least another coat on top of this and then stippling, so I've got a goodly amount still to do. However, I'm quite enjoying the challenge at the moment - and it's good to get to the blotching after all the filling and sanding. Whether I still feel that way after the next couple of nights, we'll see.

regards,

Martin

Looks good. Someone should manufacture paint pens for these camo schemes.
