Strengths:
-Attention to Detail
Always looking extensively at reference photos before building
-Rattle Can Work
90% of painting is done with rattle cans
-Attention to seam lines, body, and finish
I try to make seams as smooth as possible, and give the finish the desired effect and luster appropriate for the subject
Weaknesses:
-Still trying to perfect the gloss white finish. Pointers are greatly appreciated!
-Not as experienced with the airbrush as I want to be
-Landing gear painting (How on earth do you get such a clean finish on the wheels?
-Car model kits (Good experiences with these kits have been few and far in between)
