You are doing an OUTSTANDING job for only "doing what you can".
I am greatly impressed with your work.
Keep it up, and you will have a GREAT piece of art on your hands.

I like that you left the cooling fins with "uncoloured" edges.
It does give it a much nicer look.
You are doing a GREAT job on it.
I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

It simulates the grinded edge of the fins after powder coating that he did on the actual bike. Plus if I had colored the edges, not only would it look like garbage, but it wouldn't be true to the real Milla Migulia.

When I used to use "Kal-Guard" to gun coated the engines I used to build, I would take a file to the edge of the fines to brighten them. It looks nice!
