That is awesome. The cockpit looks like glass. :wub::blink::D

Teach me your ways

That pink is a far different hue (much more purple from my monitor) from the work in progress photos you shared on Facebook. Is that all do to a wash or is that a new color over the rather "hot pink" it began as?

You're right, and I realized my mistake when I made the video and re-shot the pictures too. I was using the wrong color lighting and it muted out the color! Here's a much better representation of the color.

TLDR: Photography is hard

I see. Good painter. Bad photographer. Got it. :)

Hey now, I'm working on it! It seems like most of the struggle it trying to make pictures look as good as real life

Be careful. You'll make us go blind from the awesomeness when your photography catches up to your painting. :)

I wish the commissioner had the DVA job done on the YV-666 so then you could do up a blue z-95 for the Hounds Tooth and the Natasha Pup!

Great work as usual!

Don't forget to white balance your camera. Most if not all cameras can do this with a 'built in' setting. But often it's better to do a manual white balance. Use something white and nice and clean, aim the camera at it and set the white balance. Hopefully then you'll get better colours.

IT HAS BEEN AGES, BUT I FINALLY HAVE NEW STUFF TO SHARE!

First, a ship from my NOVA Open Charity fleet this year!

Amazing work! I am never disappointed.

Sweet mother of mercy! Can you adopt me? Please?!! :wub:

Yellow sucks all around. In my experience Tamiya brand paint sucks just a little less than Citadel brand...

Have to agree, I was able to set down a nice smooth Yellow in 2 coats on gray plastic, vs 4 coats of Citadel.

Awesome. I'm speechless

I don't know... that photography still needs some work. :)
