Here's a few sepia-toned shots I took of Paul Foster's B(I).8 model from a while back. I revisited this repaint this evening with some reflective textures (my new best friend) to finally achieve that high-gloss finish that Andy G and I had struggled with back in April last year. Much better now.

If there is interest I'll be happy to put these in the Pond.

Nicely done Steve

Overall black is not an easy colour to pull off :smile:

Cheers Garry, I couldn't agree more. I used a slightly blue-ish tint in my black rather than just a flat black.

Wise move Steve

So called black is always very dark something........Red, green or blue

It's one of those thing though if you do it well few notice but if done badly it sticks out like a sore thumb :lol:
