Thanks Patrick. I used an old #2 flat paint brush with the bristles cut down about half way to add the texture. All is well with the family and I. How are things with you and yours? The only show I plan on in the near future is SCAHMS. The first of the year is our "busy season" at work so it's difficult to get away.
Thanks for the words of encouragement Gary. My New Year’s resolution was to finish all the half-finished projects on my workbench. Hopefully in a couple of months I’ll be done with those and then I can finish off the trench section with figure.
