nice job on the "lead"! it looks like the real thing. how did you do it? Dave The leadwork was actually really simple. it involved dabbing on silver paint in a dry brush type fashion. The silver paint i used was thick, (thicker than silver Testors paint) because i buy cheap paint. I did that for 2 coats, and a third in areas that needed more. Then rubbed in flat black paint with my finger and wiped most of it off with a damp towel, to achive a weathered, dirtied look. Thanks for all the compliments and encouragment too guys!
