Default My First Attempt at Adding Stripes

I decided that the monochrome look on my Hilux was quite boring so I decided to try to add some stripes to try to change that....I say "try" because I am not that good at painting and detailing . The stripes aren't very elaborate but I think they serve their purpose. Any and all comments welcomed.







I still have to spray some clear coat over the paint then install the "tinted" lexan windows.

Good job. Scale looks and not over done, perfect fit for that truck.

Looks good An airbrush set up would give you that extra detail

Thank you !! I have an 80 gallon Ingersoll-Rand air compressor in a detached garage that I could use with an airbrush. I think I'll do some research on airbrushes.
