Those last three don't work because you've somehow managed to replace half the link with "...". The three before that didn't work because they contained a space, which is also why the forum didn't make them clickable. Remove the space and they'll work fine.

Side note: Why don't you just check them before posting, instead of "hoping that they'll work"?

woop woop, cheers mate
im dredding painting the rest though, painting is my worst point out of everything, the green was easy, all over, now i gotta do eyes on head, visor, silver and white teeth, and mouth, and gold around red crystal on top

 

[tomahawknutter]

ok so done quite a bit today, removed the masking tape and nearly cried cause i was so happy when i saw the helmet

i recovered up all areas i didnt want spraying and concentrated on the black next

gotta say its come out AWESOME !!!!

will tape it up again and start on silver later

 

[tomahawknutter]

taped off the rest so i can spray the mouth and selected teeth silver

How long are you waiting between coats to tape and paint more? I'm just wondering, because I always get so caught up in painting props that I tape and paint too early, and then the layer before peels right up.

 

[tomahawknutter]

ah dont worry ive left enough time for nothing to happen if anything does i can easy fix it, cheers for ya concern though

I think she was asking for a time as a reference for her own work rather than warning to you.
