Hi Sevn,

That was fast, I hadn't gotten around to responding to you last post lol, lol.

The Cromwell looks great, nice touch with the stowage boxes and a grand finish overall.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Like it?

I love it!

Nice work, I really like the busy stowage boxes as they add a lot of character to the little Cromwell.

Cheers

Awesome. Stunning. Brilliant. Etc., etc., etc.,

You mentioned in the other thread you use oils for the final highlight. What color(s)?

Fantastic paintjob, and all the little details like the open stowage boxes are the icing on the cake. 10/10

Great job, Sven-Aake!

You could have fooled me into believing it was a 1/35 model. Love the paint job and the small details.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Matt !!!

I normally use Titanium White which works well for most purposes.
The good thing about artist oils is that it is transparent and because
of that it is very easy to control the strength of the highlight...

Thanks Jesper!!!

I think by adding details like I did on the Cromwell can really lifts
the appearance of a model. I want it to look as it is in use and
not parked somewhere doing nothing stripped of all it's equipment.

Doing it in 1/35 scale is quite easy but in this scale it becomes
a bit more painful but the end result is well worth it...

Best regards
