does my face look like it tried?

Getting closer

I think shits done

lol for a second I thought it was real (like you were posting the real ship with the model to follow). Really nice work XxXprozacxXxxXXxxX.

These things are tits.

I got as far as applying some dry-brushing and whatever the over-inking / washing was needed to apply shadows but never stuck at it (this is in my teens). It's a fine art for sure and requires some creative use of techniques in order to get the sort of results you are seeing. All of these models look fantastic.

Thats awesome work. Stupid question but how do you clean it? I sometimes run into wooden models of ships and other things at peoples homes i visit and they are almost always full of dust.

Air duster + big soft brush

Also working on my next "weekend" project.

Straight from the box with no addiotonal details. Kit was 25e.

more shits done

External prop shafts seem vulnerable, did that idea catch on? What were the perceived benefits?
