MIke ENG,
Thanks for the compliment. On an unrelated note, I have to say your name throws me for a loop sometimes.. My name is Mike and I am an ENG... Not sure why it makes me pause every time I read it.. LOL, but there you have it. _________________ Quanity has a Quality all its own.

I would suggest a little less green area, though. Dark wash, dirt and dust, call it good. _________________ All blessings flow from a good mission statement.

Hey Paul, I’m sorry I missed your message. If you are referring to the canvas on my trucks, I typically paint two different shades over a base coat. Then I use a wash, and then do dry brushing. The shades will vary depending on the vehicle in theater of war. I try to go for a pretty good contrast to the paint on the vehicle body.

Don’t ask me why, but I love painting the canvas and trying to make it look different so the vehicles are unique. That is why I spend a little extra time painting a part of the model. |

Nice to see Camastan rise again, looking great as always.
Work has started on a place for your embassy with the YB City redevelopment but it's going to take some time.
old port area will become the new city expansion, a new port will come later. _________________ Send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance! |

Looking great, SYB. I like your use of mdf board and pink foam. I’ve gone with the Terrain Maker system this time around. A trip to ikea is pending for a table.
I will build an embassy tomorrow for placement near the port and entertainment district. |

Nice stuff from what I can see in the pics - they’re a bit blurry - but it’s a big collection! |
