Default My space inspired Gatekeeper or Spacekeeper?! :D

First time trying something like this and would love some feedback, I am tempted to do something similar, with different colours on a full sized truck body, or maybe some extra Capra panels.
Lemme know what you think.

Thar looks (inter)steller.

Its hard to tell in the pictures, but do the speckles sparkle in person?

HOLY CRAP! That's awesome! My son is into that look and would love to have his Wraith panels done like that. How did you do it?

Not a very common look, and very unique! Great job!

Wow! I would be afraid to run it and ruin it even though it's on the inside.

Thanks brother, so it's not actually that hard, just takes a bit of thinking what you want the final product to look like.
My first layer was spraying my finger with white and flicking it at the shell for the bigger dots.
Then for sparkle and to give it some depth, I hit it with a very fine mist of silver, then I hit it with some white for the more dominant white 'bursts' and I did that with simply some tape and a hole cut in the middle, held it a few inches away and lightly sprayed until it looked how I wanted it, then I started with very fine misting of purple, green, blue, then got a little heavier with green (because that's the dominant colour I wanted it to be) then just continued building layers, below is a picture of all the paints I used.. There's about 50 layers of paint, but very very fine misting layers... I hope this helps, if not, I might actually make a video on doing it at some point, not that I am an expert but I definitely want to try it again.

I see what you did there yes and no, the bigger white dots don't, but the rest does

Its a cool paint job, nice execution. I am just finishing up the paint on mine now. Coincidentally enough, mine is also somewhat inspired by the cosmos, though perhaps not so overtly. There is a full solar eclipse coming up and it lands on my birthday. Being that its 2020, and a strange year to put it lightly, it seemed natural to give a nod to the vastness of the unknown...

Thanks for sharing. The Gatekeeper is a cool rig. I look forward to finally getting the tires down and spinning.
