Love the addition of graffiti.  ;)

I am curious, did you use an airbrush or did you hand paint it?

Difficult choice. Very close.

That graffiti is all painted with a brush. Simple and it looks rather good...IMHO. Just a dark undercoat with a slightly smaller and lighter overcoat. An airbrush would probably give a better result but seemed a bit fiddly (at least for my little world).  :)

Nice work on the DZ figs. Especially the Enforcers. I'd love to see closeups after the voting closes for this round.

@Uncle Mike--Thanks. I am going to steal, er borrow, that technique then. I am thinking of at least one updated Banksy for my At-43 cargo containers.

That is a great idea! For Banksy-esque art I'd probably make a template from cardboard and actually use spray paint. I may steal / borrow your idea!  8)
