Pictures don't work. I've just starded building the same Tamiya kit so I'd love to hear any hints you might have. Did you have any trouble with seams when joingn the torso front/back pieces?

Looks well done and detailed. However, the pics are quite small.

The reason for the pic's being small is that the url where i upload them limits me to 150kb per picture and I don't know how to upload directly to this site. If anybody can help me there, I'll appreciate it. Thanks for the nice comments Dwight.

Excellent work, I like the way you shadowed the bottom of the left sleeve, it looks kool.

Another excellent job - the only thing that sticks out is the brown wash introduced on the left side of the torso. May I suggest adding it to the other deep shadow areas to make the figure more uniform? Well actually, a blue hue would be used for the darkest shadows as it is the coolest colour - browns and red indicate warm shadows - your call... hope didn't add confusion.

Thanks Jack, I'm still learning and this was my first 1/16 figure, I'll try out your advice. I am always looking for good advice and the chance to improve my models.
