Lovely job.

Very nice, love how you've done the graduated shading

[Stirring Moose]

Thanks for all the compliments. In answer to Tabby66's comment, can't claim too much credit for the graduated shading effect. It pretty much does itself when the paint gets wiped off.

Well you obviously do a very good job of wiping the paint off Stirring

Super work! Can I enquire what paint you use? I've been using some printmaking ink, simply because I already have it, but it's quite sticky in the rubbing off phase, wondering if there may be a better alternative

I use some stuff called "Granville Cylinder Black - High Temperature Paint for Exhaust Systems, Engine Cases, Barrels Etc". It does wipe off quite nicely and gives you enough time to work on a reasonable area before it dries too much. Main advantage, however, is that it requires no primer.
