llking Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Just finished this one this morning, started it 2 days ago trying to get the mojo back. Its been 3 weeks since I have even worked on anything. The kit is the Tamiya 1/48 MK VB Trop built OOB except for the decals from Lifelike, painted with Lifecolor paints. Thanks for looking.

JackG Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Really love the colour fade you have done with this one along with the weathering. I'm guessing the faded look of the dark earth was achieved post shading technique as you can see slightly darker paint on the outside edges. Nevertheless, looks much more realistic than the "spanish" method that some are doing. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 That's really nice Lloyd. Damn man I wish I could loose my mojo and come back with a build like that. I also have to say I think that os probably the best camo on a desert bird I have ever seen. Well done mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
