I messed up few things due to my own arrogance and clumsiness. But the overall feeling is a pure joy. Thanks to William for the kit itself , I missed out on the initial order and he was kind and generously thoughtful to get extra one for my grubby fingers. He also provided guidance along the way. I have to admit my knowledge of the subject is minimal and his help was immense and badly needed. And finally a big thanks to the Kotare team for their efforts resulting in this amazing kit. Cheers Martin More pictures HERE Stunning, Martin! Really like the low angle shots - adds to the realism - don't see that enough. Weathering is wonderfully subtle, doesn't overwhelm. The 2d aspect of the paint is subservient to the 3d aspect of the basic form. That is a very difficult thing to accomplish in modeling, in my view. The outdoor shots speak for themselves....nothing more remains to be said. Bravo! Damian Martinnfb, Uncarina and williamj 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Thank you Tom, I am glad you like it :), natural light is irreplaceable yet unforgiving. I was lucky to catch the cloudy sky just before the storm. Thank you Damian, much appreciate your comment. I was trying to stick with what I saw on the available mostly B/W photographs. Here are some more shots, After the fail of Photoshop and Imgur, I've stopped using third party provider, so its all linked directly from LSM.
