Im really jealous of people with painting talent. Good job!

Hey mind telling me the "diameter" of the thrusters connection tube it kinda looks like a whip cream canister, could be a good base for scratch builders

It's really awesome watching this come together. This will end up being one of those "go to" threads on how to paint this bad boy up.

Just finished up the white sections, partially weathered but more splatters to be added when i have finished the red sections which are next. Symbols on the top of the tanks are hand painted in a brown/ black mix to match the reference images...

I wondered why you do paint commissions, just to commission terminalfettler, but I realized you do paint commissions just so you can commission terminalfettler. Lol

I have painted JP and helmets before. I just specialize in everything else because I don't want to bog myself down and not hit my deadlines for people. Plus TF is a good buddy and I wanted my jp and helmet to best they could possibly be. Garrett brings paintjobs to a level no one can touch. Just my opinion.

I think its a fact now. But I think your paint jobs are absolutely stunning! If I end up failing on painting my stuff when I get to that point I know who to pm.[emoji6]

I know right? When I move and get my office or man cave, I plan on making a mount on the wall to display this JP. No joke.

Nearly done! Just need to add the rivet detail, the pack no. between the hooks, weather the beacon and stabilizer and add the final shading and splatter weathering. The JP has had a lot of subtle shading to this point in dark grey and grey black mixes. I have also added the plastic strips on the JP sides held in place with copper nails top and bottom, or so it appears in the reference images. Just about to update my first post with a colour list for those who have been asking which paints i used...
