Codi Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hi John, 2 things come to mind, first one, I have no idea what a rocket anything should look like but whatever it is, I'm sure you're nailing it. Second, your use of the archer decals and the weathering skills you've applied to your tanks add such a wonderful level of detail / realism. Kudos sir.  tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 John.. Awesome work Brother. You sure have been a busy bee. This is shaping up really nice so far. I think my favorite piece so far is the tanks. They look killer and love the little bit of stain of the fuel, so realistic. Keep up the great job on this.

gasser59 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Again, master work by the master. You really bring bits of plastic, metal and wire to life. I'm not so sure those stains on the tanks aren't my drool.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris chabre Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Im not a jet car guy but this is AWESOME..the weathering is perfect, all the fab work is on point, and I cant wait to see the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Wow, looks like you already got the engine running! Incredible work as always, all details are done just right. Again, I'm impressed by the subtle weathering, your weathering is always done so well that it adds a lot realism, but doesn't make the parts look dirty. Very nice work.

GoatGuy Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 John I agree with everyone that it looks great and the lights will add a great touch. Wish I could get as much done as you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
