More Mixin

Hey gang
At it again with the mixers. Put this one together with the Thompson in mind. Decided to use an old mustad seeing as my last experiment didn't really jive. I like how this one looks. My plan was to have a wing that had a more natural hue to it, but as i mixed all the fibres up it looked a bit thin. So i added a bit of light blue to fill it in. Now the blue is taking ovet a bit. Dang. Oh well, gonna throw it far and get it chewed to bits anyway.
Hope you like it

Dustin

Looks good Dustin. I'm no mixer expert but here's something to try next time you find too much colour in your wing.

Drop a larger slab of bronze mallard on as a roof, and brush it out and into the wing itself. If you have a large enough peice I will tie into the side of the wing as well and can mix in very nicely.

Killer colours.

Scott.
