Hi Brian! I must admit that I rushed this one through a bit as I wanted to show just how easy it is to paint using this method.I will be spending a little more time on the details after I subject it to the proper lighting.
I know that a lot of folks have trouble painting figures and usually get them way too shiney especiall y when they are subjected to strong light.Detailing can come with practise once the basics are there.

I agree Brian,old Henry must have had a little of the artist in him too.It really is a beautifully designed car.Very elegant for its day.When I first got it I thought of adding things like trunks and racks and the like but now when I look at the car anything I could add would only spoil her flowing lines .
Cheers! John.
