If he don't...…………….I will. I'm out of friggin' words to describe what I'm seein'....
Re: Yeah baw 1:32 Saburo Shindo Zeke!
There is a whole lot to be said for a nice color, and subtlety. Building these Zeros has been a game-changing experience.

This image blows me away! Looks much larger than 1/72 scale and that's something to be really proud of. I agree with the others... the color looks spot on!

Re: Yeah baw 1:32 Saburo Shindo Zeke!
Thank you, John! I appreciate that and you know, that was a big concern I had when I silver-based that aircraft. It’s easy to get a lot of nice tonal variation and depth with black-basing, preshading, and so forth and that’s part of what ends up giving you the illusion of the aircraft being larger than it is. I thought it’d be more difficult with the silver base, but on this particular aircraft, it works. I’m really happy with the results of this experiment.jkim wrote: This image blows me away!

Thanks buddy! Did the breakdown I did of painting this one help? I hope it did! And I can’t wait for Part 2- black basing the Spitfire!BlackSheep214 wrote:Kenny....your work took words to describe away from me. I got nothing except....

Well Kenny, I finally got time to catch up and I gotta say: WOW! That was a a amazing demonstration and fully informative. I don't know that I'll do something like that, but someday I might give it a shot. As others have said; there are no words left to describe the awesome experience of seeing these two models in progress. Your talent and skills are truly epic here.
Thanks again for posting that SBS; it was truly magnificent!
