The glow (OSL) on the far left jack is the best of the bunch. Good job.

Feck. Another noob that paints levels and levels above me.

Welcome. Ignore the knife. It's used for, uh, cake. Yeah.

I feel your pain...and now i am starting to go blind and getting the shakes, so i will probably get worse.

On a serious side, what colors did you use for the blues?

Lovely stuff, I'd be tempted to push the contrast further on the flames though, going to almost pure black from almost pure white

Thanks all ... appreciate the kind words.

P3 line:
Coal Black as base over Black primer
then 1:1 Coal Black and Greatcoat
then 1:1 Coal Black and IronHull
lastly just IronHull for the rivets and top folds of chassis ...

Looks really cool! I agree with GreenRanger! Those glowy effects really are nice!

It may be the pictures but i think to achieve really good glow/osl effects you need to push it a bit further.

Overall though a fantastic job, really clean lines and transitions. You should be very chuffed

I'm with the others... you have done a great job on these!

Unlike the others, I think you should push the contrast EVEN FURTHER... I would start at ultraviolet and push through to infra-red with maybe some octarine on the extreme highlights.

I agree they look great
