For my Dad. I spared you the process of cutting and masking. I'm waiting on the paint to dry right now.

The whole panel. I masked everything, and then used a store bag to mask the rest of the panel to protect from overspray.

Take 2. The paint lifted when unmasking for some reason. This time, I used metallic blue like on my mouse.

All that's left to do now is maybe a little shading and highlighting, and clearcoat.

Lol @ TGS. I'm not sure what's next honestly. We have a couple Army dogs in the family, but no squids. I'll see if someone wants an Army panel done.

Well, for $12.99, you can't go wrong with the one I have as a learner brush. I'm trying to waste paint just to play around, and with the way this stuff has to be mixed, it's almost impossible to do.
