Honza,

Looking very nice there!

Your "post-shade" is the same technique as I use. It takes more time than the presently fashionable "pre-shade" with black lines everywhere, but your model is a great example of how this technique gives so much more "reality" and depth to the finish than the simple, un-realistic (IMO) black "pre-shade".

cheers,

M

Really awesome work! Thanks for sharing the "secret" :P It's really inspiring! I did not built any kits for a long time and I felt that I want to do it again. You gave me a really good boost with this!

Greetings, neu :thumbsup:

Each to his own likeing..... no techniqiue is more wrong or right than any other it´s all in what pleases the builders eye. Me, I use both techniques and I see no point in choosing the one over the other!

@Honza, marvellous paint job and a great build!!!

WOW, simply amazing !!! And, to keep in line with the other comments:

Thanx for the tutorial. :lol:

There's just one thing I don't get. From what I can tell You surely have some extraordinary

modelling-skills. Besides that You also take quite some time to up-grade/modify certain area's

that need some attention. In doing so You clearly invest quite some time to get things right.

:)

What I just don't get is the fact that You haven't taken the time to "eye-ball" the bird a bit more closely...

Once finished, all I will be able to see is a typical JASDF-bird in a HAF-livery. To me a real pitty to see such a

beautifull build which is basicaly in-correct from the start... :crying::thumbsup:

Hopefully You'll tell me You just regard this build as a "fun-build"...

"Check Six....."

Spooky.
