I used the Micro Sol and Micro Set. Worked perfectly. I didn't know about the panel line decals. I'll have to try them--thanks for sharing!

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments. It was also my first time with these decals, Nick. I ordered the HO gauge because of the odd 1/90 scale. I cut them into extremely close strips--right up to the actual rivet, and then placed them over a Tamiya White Primer and covered with Model Master enamel gloss black, which leveled the carrier film nicely. Over that was the Model Master Metalizer.

That is excellent! I really like your treatment of the frog.

This is the 1/90 Revell kit. I used clear styrene for the windows, opened the inlets, exhausts, landing lights and gear linkage, used Archer decal rivets and Vintage Flyer decals. Thanks for letting me share!

Thanks. I used one of 2 "techniques" the GK guys to do bring the skin alive. One is to flick tiny drops of many colors of paint on the skin and then lightly do a top coat to settle the drops underneath. I first saw this watching Rafael Robledo work - https://youtu.be/tQizFgzbvYY BTW, This guy is absolutely amazing. But I can't get the dot of paint tiny enuff so I do the older technique of just doing squiggles all over the skin - I used red, blue, yellow, green and a little purple over a light gray primer. I Spray a clear coat after every 2 colors so if I screwed up the last color and I need to remove the goof, I wouldn't go all the way to the base or even worse the primer coat. Rafael suggest a clear coat after every color until you get used to the technique. After the last clear coat was dry I hit it with the flesh color, but making sure not to apply it too heavy so that all the other colors disappear. It's tough to know when enuff is enuff - so go slow. Wow...that is excellent! Thank you for sharing this picture and the information!

Really nice painting too. The hint of colors below the skin is outstanding.

This is part of the Reaper Mousling series based on holidays. It was fun to paint. Thanks for letting me share!

That's really clever! Thanks for posting.

I don't know the scale, it's 2" high resin kit, Thanks!
