hey mobear, a word of warning,i see from your post that you have used a sharpie pen for some detail,i may be wrong but i am sure that i read on a post from a fellow member that the ink never dries properly on plastic even though it feeels dry and can bleed and run when anything is sprayed or painted over it(maybe i just imagined it cos i tried to find the thread but couldnt). camo is coming along great, cannot wait to see her finished.

hey phalinmegob thnx for heads up although mine seems to have dried properly and thnx for compliment mate

Good stuff Mobear.

Belle's camo was Olive Drab,which as you have obviously surmised varied enormously and the blotches were Medium Green. Underside was Neutral Grey.

She's looking good!

Cheers
