I didn't get chance to paint it at the weekend, and spent the past 4 days and nights in London working. Got back late last night, so I've been frantically trying to paint it this evening. I'm reasonably happy with the result given the failing light, my inability to find my magnifying glass (and now I'm having trouble focussing on anything more than about 10cm away ...), and my lack of painting skills. Should be able to take pics in about 30 minutes and get them posted up.

ageofwar is also working on his model right now - my fault for being away for 4 days and nights, etc, as I'd left his model in the garage after priming it. Doh!

EDIT: my pic is up. Unfortunately the super macro on my camera is so clear that I can see how bad the painting looks. What I thought were extremely fine brush strokes (using a 0000 brush) look like someone used a paint roller to do the highlights. 8O
