...when I'm cleaning windows...

Don't mind the jaunty angle - t'aint glued on yet. I musta nudged it pre-picture taking...

The falcon turret is mostly done, but I still need to panel-line it and paint the underside dark grey. All tanks need a black wash on their underside to bring out the details (they're actually dark grey just now) and the guns on the web spinner need detailing. Still, progress, progress.

Y'know, if it was just these 3 tanks I'd be quite happy with how things are going. Shame about the 3 hornets, big FW flyer and 30 or so infantry I still need to do... :roll:

Well done. They look great by all accounts. As for the eyes maybe the camera is picking up light from the layer below?

And don't forget to up your models painted ticker!

Great looking pirates MiJ. The effort you put in always inspires mate. Are they the Void Dragons, Sunblitz Brotherhood or your own group?

Some music to go with the ride of your jetbikes! (They look awesome, with lots of energy.)

Good luck with as many models as you can get done for NagHam!
