When I saw this with it's bling on, I thought, that looks fantastic! Then you primed it and it looked even better.......then you painted it and it looks even more better-er-er!

Brilliant work Tiger, this is most definitely the badgers nads!! :th: :th: :clap: :clap: :bow:: :bow::

I am soo loving how you put on the oil ... and the highlights - yowza

I don't think I can even come to this much chromatic richness

Daler n rowney is more modest than other brands and write low odour instead of odourless ;)
I was wondering :scratch:: it looks on the photo that is more like a filter that helps with the highlights and unified the paintwork than a wash that creates shadows? Or Im i wrong?! NOT a besserwisser! Just wanna know since beeing a novice and wanna learn. Really intresting with a yellow over green and what it does with a proper paintwork as yours.

cheers garywintin for your kind comments just a few steps left till i finish this part

gustavlekstal i just use the low odour because it was cheaper it doesn't smell all that bad so aint to bad

and the wash i just go with what i think is best bud dont use steps like filters and washes i just whack it on till it looks right but what i have found that i like in a bottle are the ultimate washes the concrete wash works on most models.

will get some more pics up later and thanks for looking and posting my friend you have followed me all the way cheers :thumb1: :thumb1:
