    No worries guys. I asked for advise, so adding it in is expected.
    Here was yesterdays fix of a large mess I made. Not going into details on that one.
    I did tone down the bright metal bands with Vallejo rust texture after this pic was taken.
    All in all, I am fairly happy with the end results. Sorry my camera is less that stellar. crates

    Everything looks a lot better. Congratulations. It may be just the flash on your camera, but if the silver bands shine a bit too much, just dab a little grey chalk on it to dull it a bit. Kind of like the news anchors putting on powder so their faces don't shine too much on the camera. Phil

    Try to make the photos outside in daylight. Helps a lot !

    You got some nice depth to the texture of the wood castings. Good job.

    The wood barrels have been re-done for about the 10th time. They are simply practice at this point, as I had wrecked a bunch of the resin castings last week. Anyway, I can honestly say that the AK paints have made my beginner skill much better. Also, thanks to ya'll for advice and especially Bryan for letting me wear him out. Awaiting a set of new castings so that I can actually put this practice to real use. Lots still to learn, but I am having fun!! It is dark outside, so I had to use my big shop lights to get decent lighting.AK_paint_help

    Looking good

    well done! Looking great.

    Weathering turned out GREAT! The barrels rings are also great. One thing if I may make a suggestion is to sand the back of the labels to as thin as possible so they don't look so thick. This shows up on the green bottle. Otherwise looking very nice.
  • EmeryJEmeryJ
    I will give that a try Tom. I had read about it somewhere but did not think to give it a shot on this first bottle. Thanks everyone for the great replies!!

    Barrels look great...love the light wood tone you achieved. Nice change from the dark wood barrels so often modeled.

    Nice detail work. The muted colours are a good choice.

    Backdrop coming in 2 weeks. Installed the sign grade aluminum backer to keep it smooth. Rather easy to install. Did it alone.BackDropBacker
