You worked some real magic on that rotor head! Check back in about half an hour.  |

Rotor hub is done other than final flat coat when I do the whole works. Citadel Nulin Oil (black) shade wash. This gives more depth and artificial shadows. It isn't as shiny as the pictures look. From this  To this  Blades are brush painted Tamiya NATO black to give an uneven coat and then Nulin Oil is brushed across them to show streaks in the direction of rotation. You can see the results of some of the preshading and the blotches and uneven panel line highlighting from the black tinted floor finish wash on the fuselage.   Rocket pod before tinted floor finish wash on left and after on right. Once flat coated it will look worn but not dirty.  |

Starting to look like a proper Apache now. LOL Right now it is the shiniest Apache ever. Not sure how many coats of flat it is going to take to get that dead flat AH-64 look. |
