First rate work.

First rate work.

Thank you! That means a lot.

My girlfriend is the one who does tooling, I can but I really have neither the patience nor the dexterity for it. Too many years of powerlifting I guess.

Sounds like a pretty solid deal.

My man thing's contribution to my work is letting me take over a bedroom as studio space.

Thank you all!

Thank you! I use a combination of Angelus and Eco-Flo, depending on what I need the consistency to be. I will mix/blend the two together as well. I've found that I get better opaque coverage with Angelus, but eco flo blends better for gradients, etc. My metallics are eco-flo and then for some, I do some light antiquing over the paint with either the dark brown or black antique gel. I finish with fiebings acrylic resolene top coat.

Ha! Been at it about 2 years, have been selling for about a year, but I've grown the business over the past 6 months months so... Still a pup, yeah. But my crazy dog people niche is all over it.

And... thank you. I put A LOT of time etc into the design work.
