          Yes, that would be cheating... lol

          Looks a good base now. Pressure's on for adding the decals nicely... (not as easy as you'd think)

              I didn't have the stones to put any clear-coat on my chromed car.
              As I wasn't sure how the acrylic would stick to the chromed surface.
              So in order to keep the decals on, it's trapped in a single-car display case.

                that is the same thought that is on my mind, im just finishing a few bits with my boys then its time to be brave and stick the decals on

                              You might try cutting a piece of the white decal paper DRY. (This is a bit of trial & error.) But once you've trimmed a piece that fit the recessed area of McQ's eyes. Then wet it and apply. Then you can print the eyes (pupils & irises only) And place them where ever you want within the white field.
