With the red of the body complete, I’ve started highlighting the carapace with my airbrush. I masked off all the red areas and then using a piece of card, I highlighted the edge of each plate using the card to mask the join of the plates. Quite simple, but looks effective. Not great photos I’m afraid, there are black shadows cast over the black armour from the spines, but I think you get the idea.

Cheers Granesh. BTW, your username sounds really familiar? Where have I seen you before?
