But as CS said it adds to the battle worn look, but to be honest they look fine to me and not at all patchy Kieran Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191062526187270925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-29448248555506292062014-04-22T22:29:33.625+01:002014-04-22T22:29:33.625+01:00Cheers mate - yes, I never really thought of that,...Cheers mate - yes, I never really thought of that, maybe with a bit of weathering powder I could disguise that blotchiness.

I'd go with red eyes and then clean up with grey first as it will go over the red easier, then go to the white.

I used to use the old white with black wash but I could never get an even finish. <br /><br />These chaps look good. I like the shield designs. They come off appropriate to the theme.<br /><br />With the helmets is hard to tell if you have picked out the lenses in another colour.
