Wow! Those clouds look great! My compliments. And since my job entails flying through most of our nation's clouds on any given day...I can authoritively say those clouds look very real. (Maybe you could add a jet contrail way off in the distance...ok...just kidding.)

WOW e-paw, can you tell me how you did such a wonderful job, as im almost to that point on my layout. Man, those look awesome!:thumb:


I air brushed polly scale reefer white on to the wall, using stencels cut from heavy card stock. Then added shadows of earth, concrete, and csx tan (all from polly scale). Last I misted over the whole cloud a touch of white. The base color of the wall is flat Olympic Brand paint called
" skyward " that I purchased from Lowes.
have fun with it,
steve

I may hang a ufo as a joke after I do the bench work.
