the paint brush is my friend...hehehehe....friend....heh
I would have loved to have lit this model but i've never done that before and i dont think a contest with a deadline would be the best place to start so im just really trying to focus on the paint job, a tad more detail and a light wash and these puppies will be ready...so far i used tamiya, citadel, and model master paints on these walls. the steele gerders were a little tricky to make fit, a little trimming and some 5 minute epoxy held them in place real nice. check it.
