Every time I see one of Frank's 1/48 models, I almost forget they're 1/48! Almost makes me want to give a couple a try......almost. Love the camo colors!

I love the style - To me I would describe it as Crystal Clear Dirty Very wonderfull done. Good tips on the washes. I like the use of water colors! I think I may add them to the arsinal.

Masterpiece is the word... even for a 1/35... but, here, a 1/48 man it's amazing ! Once again, the paint job is outstanding Mr Van Gogh !! Yes that's a lot of words with "ing" !
