Bravo Stephano. Beautiful work. Tell us more about the Tamiya Pastels in the background.

Thanks.
Tamiya's pastels... nothing special to say: apply with a little brush, EVER on a surface painted with a coat of Future, then spreaders (not sure about this, in english...) with a brush as women use for make up... Sorry, i don't know the name... :roll:
Something like these...

Give pastels' powder everywhere you want, cleaning the excesses with a wet paper serviette. After a while, you can paint over with another coat of clear matt/satin/gloss without the risk to loose them.

Gave a final coat of matt clear to F-100D; i believe to finish all tomorrow.

That turned out great. Love all the shading and mottling effects.

That's great advice Kruxi. A tutorial with pictures would be good. :-D

Haha that is brilliant Kruaxi, Bravo!

I can hear the guy on radio, "We'll need more than gaffer tape this time...." and the guy at the rear, "There goes beer time..."

Wonderful

A most inspiring build Kruaxi. It reminds me of all those space craft in the battle scenes from Star Wars. Beautiful job!
