Cool, Thanks Lord!
I'm d/ling it as I type.

I've got a bit of a sinus infection it seems now...annoying

**Valhalla130**

Aww, I saw furninture and thought, FINALLY!!!

Then I find out its just for some mobster. Which looks really cool by the way.

I can't wait to see the Cylon.

**DiDDe**

The work you've done on bag end is just.. well.. it's so good i can't find any words for it.. that's what it is!

and the furniture! the wood effect looks amazing!
great job dave!

**dsteingass**

Thanks Didde! Glad you're back!- but next time you need a pc, let me kow and I can hook you up!

@Valhalla -

BY YOUR COMMAND

I decided some detail needed added

Would you LOOK at this finish!!!

These are all the Inner parts, Schmincke Aero Dark Ice over black primer
Now to see how the Schmincke Aero Brilliant silver looks on the OUTER parts

No test pieces here, just balls out on the kit parts!

**lone dirty dog**

That is some sweet looking finish they seem well worth the investment

the armour looks like real metal and the shimmer to it is brilliant did you airbrush

Either way they are going on the to buy list

now try some others Dave and be quick about it

Yes Sir, with my trusty Badger Patriot 105!

Straight out of the dropper bottle, fine needle/nozzle, 15 PSI, easy as pie

**Dr H**

Those metallics look really good.

I looked at this picture and thought "kiss my shiny metal butt"...

I'll put that in mind!

**dsteingass**

Thanks Didde!
That paint reflects perfectly, you can tell I have a daylight bulb to the left and a standard soft white bulb to the right.

**DiDDe**

haha indeed! it's like all white on the left and yellow one the right

shows perfectly how good the daylight bulb is!

also, it feels so great to be back! i'm really looking forward to start posting updates again

the first one is already up!

go have a look

**lone dirty dog**

Now that is a beast I new it was big but bloody hell, the colour has turned out marvellously they have to be one of the best investments to date where can I get them from

You adding any lights to this guy

I am seeing a red stream of light moving from side to side

the detail on this model is great. *

When are we going to see some other colours in this range then

**HAZZER**

Love the scale shot!! That guy looks huge!!!

**SilverMK2**

Love the cylon.

**dsteingass**

Thanks LDD- they are German-made, I got them here from www.dickblick.com - Not sure what you have in the UK that would make more sense to order from?

Yep Hazz, he is BIG- thanks buddy

@Silver- thanks man

**lone dirty dog**

Cheers mate found some on ebay £6 a pot mind

have to have a proper look around

**dsteingass**

Shifting gears to the Minitaire paints, my Renegade Krome detail brush and the Gangster

**lone dirty dog**

Progress, blue suit no pin stripe then LOL looking good so far Dave

**dsteingass**

I want to do pin stripes, but TBH, I'm afraid.

No need to be afraid just take your time

"YOU CAN DO IT "

**dsteingass**

I just don't have a brush small enough for scale

Look at the lapel- 6 stripes!!

**Dr H**

I would say that a very fine pen might be your friend, but I don't know if they will even go that thin.

If you're doing the stripes in a fairly similar colour to the suit then you may get away with only giving the impression of pin stripes by doing them on well lit places and saying that they dissapear in the shadows, then you don't need to do stripes all over the suit. That would save some effort.

I've not had any other bright ideas yet to achieve the pin-stripe look...

Edit: oo no, tell a lie. just had one. How about a very sharp pencil? Should give you very fine lines and you can possibly rub them off if a line goes wonky.

**shasolenzabi**

So, Cylon, check, Old school G.I. Joe for comparison, check, joe holds GW mini check, all looking good Dave!

Gonna go for the well dressed gangster now eh? Pinstripes is the bees knees!

**Briancj**

You should update your .sig, Dave. It still points to your old plog.

**dsteingass**

I can't pull off the pinstripes

**shasolenzabi**

Well, solid suit colors still work. I consider him still at the muscle stage, as he gets higher up in the organization he can afford the pinstripes, if he lives that long! Gangster life is a short one

**DiDDe**

Pin stripes or not, He still looks great if you ask me!

**HAZZER**

Looking good matey!

**lone dirty dog**

Looks great though Dave so no biggy

**nerdfest09**

That is one cool Gangsta as they should be! none of this new fangled Gangsta with their pants falling down and the underwear on display talking bad about 'yo Momma' THIS is a Gangsta good and proper although pin stripes would be cool......... ;-)
