I’ve been working on some paint scheme designs for AWVR I got a few done, and creds go to Michael Eby for the undecorated drawings I painted all of these myself. I also have a Google doc on the paint schemes that I’m doing this is what I have done so far though
here’s the Google Doc stuff that I think is a good idea:
