Definitely improving with each model Keith! I agree about the matt (or semi-matt varnish), it'll make a big difference. I'd like to see some pics when the matt coat has been done, but good work so far mate.
I agree with Wayne and Terry. A great improvement of your skills and a very nice effect of your work .But still too quick attempt.I know you have a lot of free time Keith and nothiong else to do with that but having that you could take an extra step in a few areas. Anyway well done.
