In reading over what I posted, I realized I made a mistake on the Speck head and neck. Apologies. Tile Brown Diamond Brite (Amazon), or Dark Brown Rustoleum ( if you can find it) glue with Goose Gray flocking. I do a fair amount of "hazing" with airbrushed Sand Rustoleum over this combo...

Oh, the Rustoleum Sand is available through Amazon. ACE doesn't seem to carry it anymore. Pricey to say the least, especially with Jeff Bezos trying to out maneuver Elon Musk in Outer Space.......

The absolute "beauty" of Don Mintz is, of course, his incredible talent AND his willingness and dedication to help others. This Forum is incredibly fortunate to have him as a contributor. I have followed his advice for years, on another Forum of self described "purists" ( in which he is no...
