Great work. About year ago I started airbrushing some of my 3D work. My airbrushing is not up to outstanding work. Looking forward to other projects.

it's 44 inches wide by 21 inches tall and 2 inches thick.
run time was 18 hours using a 1/4" ball nose for roughing and an 1/8" ballnose for finishing.

i love working with vectric to bring my ideas to life, the work pays off when you cut your projects.

the best pointer i can think of for the painting is go gently. meaning thin soft layers, most signs are thick coats and flat painting. for something like this it takes layers to get it looking right.
best of luck and keep practicing, you'll only get better.

finally done
