well after surviving a nightmare couple of weeks i managed to get a bit more done.
on 9 days holiday so i hope to finish the corsair this week !
i think the colours are a little dark when compared to Cory's excellent corsair in the same scheme but its the best i could come up with in the time i've had

 

[lesofprimus]

I dunno Karl, I think the colors are pretty close, may just be the lighting that stands the colors apart.... She's lookin pretty tits man.....

It looks fine, take your hand off your head! I too believe it is the lighting, because the camo looks great... drag that baby into the sun and do a re-shoot, you'll see her shine!

 

[Catch22]

Karl, it's probably the lighting. I know with mine it looks completely different in the sun than inside my house! Those colours are actually quite odd in that respect, they almost seem to merge together at the right angle. I'd say you're good, even if they are a little dark, it's not enough to be an issue plus who knows what that bird's been through.

cheers guy's, i'll try and get some out door shots if it stops raining, been almost 50 degree C in the kitchen at work the last few days and as soon as i get a day off rain, thunder and lightning all day !!!!!!
