Looks very good are you airbrushing the tones or....Shows that  a kit can be transformed from raw to a beauty using modeling skills.

Thank you ,Krow113

  That is totally awesome! The face you have done is just amazing. This is really nice to look at also. The colours are outstanding and are a real contrast to the drab military themes we always see.

  You definitely have talent with that airbrush....Bow Down
