Attack Tomahawk 1/100 - W.I.P.

Patience, my friend. Good things come, and all that.

 Okay, the model itself is mostly finished. I may make some minor improvements, but this is very close to the way it will look when done.

I dry-brushed all the edges and corners w/ Dark Tan, to blend the washes and to highlight the darker areas.

Then I mixed Radome Tan w/ Dark Tan, again at about 50/50, and dry-brushed the edges on all the upper parts. I went heavier and heavier the higher on the kit I went.

The nice thing about this particular painting style is that it gives good definition and depth to things that might otherwise look  kinda flat. It gives similar results to an oil filter/wash, only it's more precise and predictable. Downside is, you can only do it w/ an airbrush.

Here it is:

She's looking very nice with the decals on and the subtle weathering.

Man J she looks awsome . One day to have your skills that my goal my friend

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Excellent work! The bits you glued to the legs really add up to the whole model.

And thanks for sharing how you did it. Hope you don't sue me for copying some material

WOW, nice.  Your dry brush tutorial was worth re-looking this thread up to see  where you had got too.  Had no idea it was this far along.  I like it.

Thank you, and no, I don't mind at all.   I've learned almost everything I know about modeling from others, and I'm glad for the opportunity to pass some of it on.

Thank you. The trick w/ the drybrushing is to use a slightly lightened version of the base color, so as to avoid a glazed look. You want the details to be noticeable from a distance, but not the paint itself.

Haven't had a chance to work on this of late, but as of tonight I should be able to get a lot more done on this (and other kits) in the near future. Thank you for the support.

J you are the man !!! And I cant wait to see this bad boy done my freind
