Mist, nice work on the Mitchell. Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]  I agree with what everyone else has said about the finish looking more natural.  Awesome work.  Too bad about the turtle though, are you sure there isn't some fiddly little piece that you missed that you could add at the last minute?

Well, it is a Tamiya Bf-109.  If there was ever a shake and bake kit that's it.  You just might be able to pull it off.  I say go for it! Thumbs Up [tup]

The Marder is starting to come together.  So many rivets!  Detail painting is going to be fun.

That's a beautiful Mitchell!

The NMF looks very good.  I agree that it looks more authentic.

Well done, mist

Alright, another finisher!  Mist, despite your headache with the paints I think she turned quite nice.  I do think the inner gear doors are opened a little high, but I could be wrong. 

Nice job Thumbs Up [tup]

 

Thanks Arki.  I thought so too.  That's what i get for reading Revell's instructions againCensored [censored]

Well, I couldn't wait any longer.  I had to get the baby done, to heck with the award.  I must warn anyone out there who uses Tamiya paint.  Flat Aluminum DOESN'T react well with Testors Dull.  When i first sprayed it, it went on like usual.  But when i came back in 20 min, it had bubbled the Aluminum.  I was Censored [censored], but when I calmed down it hit me....I don't need to weather it now.  It looked so natural that i was really pleased with it.  It was unreal.  Also i had to resort to the Kit decals because Testors decal film SUXSSSSSS.  Yikes.  Thin and unwieldy.  I wasn't about to try and reprint them, because i would get the same results.  I'm gonna have to find some other decal paper to use in the future.  Here is the finished results.  Let me know what you think.  All and All i really enjoyed this and it turned out great for me.  Not show worthy but it looks good on the shelf with the others.

Let me handle him.   

EH   HEM

Your Great and Powerful (and handsome) Lord Kenny

Mr. Mist and this unworthy subject (though not as unworthy as someone else who shall not be known as Mist086 anymore but as Mr. Troublemaker) have devined so as to please you with the presentation of page 100. This was done only to appease you, and hopefully you will not offer this unworthy soul up as sacrifice, but perhaps another who is even more unworthy of your mercy and compassion. By being on page 100, all builds should be wrapping up so as to facilitate the voting and building of new kits in the Build Redux.
