Well, I had the paints at work, so I thought I would continue with the Moonbase theme. This was much harder to do, because I didn’t have a good picture of an Interceptor to work from. I took a scan of the picture when I had been working on it for a few hours, and then the finished picture. It’s not one that I think I will keep though, as…
