Thanks, Phil.
It does feel good to finally have this one done, that's for sure. The weathering was pretty challenging. It really looks a lot darker and more splotchy in person than in these pictures. That was even more so before going over the whole thing with a medium gray pastel. The rust was a headache as well and went through several corrections before it was done. Definitely a good learning experience. I'll see if I can get the weathering in to show up in some pictures more like it does to my eye and show you what I mean.
I do like how it turned out in these photos. I think it may get even more washed out with brighter lights for the final photos. Not sure when I'll get to that.
Thanks, again.
