    NMF on bottom looks great, John (@johnb). I like using Vallejo for the metals.

    @johnb - The pre shading looks great John. Definitely still visible on the bottom after the metallic went down.

    Decided to apply the darkest color first, which is "oud blad", old leaf in this case. Used Vallejo 71.021 (black green) for that.

    Leaping ahead as it is finally time for painting the exterior. Nice color and just the right amount of transparent it seems!

    @fiveten, thank you, Spiros. I'm also pretty happy with the outcome so far.
    @airbum, thanks a lot, Erik. Let's hope the lighter shade will turn out as nicely.
