martin_sam_2000 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 great looking model, I would also be interested to see how you do your finishing! Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plano Guy Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm not sure one can say enough about this one. I think the best compliment you can get is that your model can pass for the real thing in photos. You have accomplished that and more. You should be building movie props!
