Jay,

I'm green with envy...sorry someone had to say it. but seriously I like it. Geting some colour on is a big step forward you must be happy. Great stuff.

Good work mr jay for putting the hot house base down first.Those colours can be difficult to loose lines or mottled look,can even be transparent.Looks like it will be a good finish.A black primer or base would work the same.Nice work mate.
