Outstanding paint and weathering. And scratch building. ![]()
I appreciate that very much, Karl! That’s the look I’m going for - dirty and heavily used but not a junkyard piece!
Impressive work!
Fantastic looking thing!!

Stunning result Matt.
This is the kind of modeling I like. Great work, super detailed, and, as a photographer, excellent images.
Outstanding in every way Matt!
Wow Matt, a really stunning model. Outstanding execution on everything, excellent build, paint, and detail.
