| nice paint job!!!
but i would loose the grey diamonds, and the glitter around the dice. i would put drop shadows under the dice instead, it would make them pop off the tank. i love the multiflake panel!!!! nice job of clearing. i am not sure if it is the camera, but it appears that the multiflake is only on the right side of the tank??
these are just my opinions....... |

| I like the dice theme, but isn't it unlucky to show 5 & 2 or 6 & 1.
Hard 8 would be good.. pays 30 to 1 I think.
I need to learn how to paint. I just got my oiless air compressor working. Now I just need the spray guns.
I just noticed you also have 4 & 3. I guess in this case 7 is lucky.

| really wanted 5`s and 6`s but the Exacto knife got me.
It`s my first attempt at something this complex, have painted solids and tape
but wanted something more. I chose dice because it`s the game i play in the casino`s.Testing the waters to see how much is too much ,is less better, etc.
All of this is on spare tin so it dosent cut down the riding time.Took me a year to figure out what color i wanted and 2 months to mix the paints the way i wanted. |

| It's a great job though. I know it can't be easy like you said.
Dummy's like me watch that guy Reno on Trick my Truck paint a whole truck with crazy graphics in 5 or 6 minutes. "yeah, I'll just put on this base coat, tape this off, zip zip zip and done" ?  but buddy, you got to do the other side know
That guy is good though. I'm always amazed at what he does on those trucks.
Keep up the good work Ironhead. |

| not bad
The purple glitter -well jmo - not the best choice but if you like it wth
I'd work a little harder on the proportions of the dice, maybe get a book on drawing things that will help with setting up the object so that it looks correct.
It kind of looks catty whompus on the dice, may be the camera angle or the shading on the edge of the die.
However I think you need to work on had drawing the dice in order to give them the look that they are rolling up the tank or off the tank back at you,
Still a pretty good effort, I have trouble painting walls, (mostly because I dont' care to paint walls) LOL |

| I agree the dice look out of wack proportionairy the purple flake nice paint wrong spot, as a thought make the rolling affect, and shadow them use the purple as the dots and some bling of outline or some thing but one thing is for sure you put it on a tank I am not comfy yet squirtin on real stuff  but some day i will get after it till then I'm stickin with the big gun  |
