Wayne, use the advanced mode to help you post pictures. you can also put them in your Gallery. Click on the star at the bottom of your posting where it says "My Models" for another option. Do not do a normal reply, use the reply in the upper right corner, that takes you into the advanced mode.

Maybe a little something to help the drip stand out a little like some minor shadowing. Subtle can be cool too.
I learned a while back not to comment on someones paint job on another site. The person asked for opinions and I gave them. It was a terrible paint job in my opinion, the worst combo of red and green that I'd ever seen. The others thought it looked good but I gave my honest 2 cents. Boy, I heard about the comment that I made!
I'm not that hot of a painter myself, every third paint job doesn't seem to come out right. I got out of trying to do the trick stuff as those boats seemed to be targets.
