It's been a while, in a galaxy far, far away.
I built these two models from Trumpeter. Both were painted with AK`s Real Colors and 3rd Gen. Colors, weathering with oil paints, pigments and a few washes. I learned a few techniques from Nightshift and Rinaldi Studios and it really works.
The photos aren't the best, it's been too long and everything was improvised.

Hi, Norman! Welcome back, too.
These are quite nice. Like the subjects and the weathering.

I do like your work here! Artillery pieces are pretty rare on SPAM, and their tractors/prime movers even more so. Great looking builds!
