Stunning.  Great work.

"I've fought in... what... a hundred battles, a thousand battles?  It could be a million as far as I know.  I've fought for anybody who offered a decent contract and a couple who didn't.  And the universe is not much different after all that.  I could go on fighting for another hundred years and it would still look the same."

Very cool, how did you manage to get such clean highlight lines?

It's glorious! :cool:

Just looking at the first photo, reading the title, I still was just thinking "looks somehow familiar". Then I scrolled a bit for the reference image and guess if I felt a bit silly for not remembering? :cheesy:

That's pretty awesome.

BTW-If you don't mind telling us-how do you do your black panel lines?

I'm in the process of finishing painting a new batch and I'm thinking about
spraying them with gloss coat and using Vallejo black ink for the panel lines.
Then I'm thinking about adding the decals and spraying again with matt coat.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.
BTW-I followed your advise in your thread about lighting and bought some new
lights to take better pics. I got the Bower 2-pack of creator lights.
Made a HUGE difference in my experiments. Thanks.

I start with a black base coat. Really that simple, start black and paint each panel individually.

Wow. This is amazing!
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman
