Dirk Heyer
Hi Vitor,
I like the spanish scool of paint aplication. I`m a friend of highlights and shadings.
Authentic painting and historical serious polemic in my hobby is rejected!! 🙂
You made a nice job with the paints.
If you like the works of Diego Quijano dqscaleworks.blogspot.de/
and Daniel Zamarbide dzmodels.blogspot.de/ you understand my focus! 🙂 🙂

Michel Huijghe
Great looking AH-64A. 🙂
As Dirk said I'm also a fan on Spanish type of painting.

Hello Friends

@Jim thank you

@Tim... well, i never can put on the pictures what my eyes see "live" so... thank you 😉

@Dirk, yes i know both of them, im their friend (i talk often with Daniel) they are among the best modelers i know and 2 of my favorite two... (they both are in my top 5) but i dont have the skills they have, and i don't use the same technics, i try to reach the quality of what they do using "my own way" (not that what they do is wrong, not that) on the lights/shading there are some in common, (they both are masters doing it) but then we follow different ways...

Both (specially Daniel, because i know his work for a long time) inspired me to always do better, to try to reach the quality what they have, but i always tried not to "copy" any particularity style, but being neighbors is possible that are something in common on the way that we Iberic guys look to the plastic 🙂 🙂

Being a portuguese guy i rather prefer to use the portuguese way 🙂

But i feel very proud when you "compare" me with this two artists 🙂

@Michel thank you, like you and Dirk i like it too but there is something in the Spanish School that im not a big fan that is the way that some modelers use to make the paint work, sometimes it looks that im seeing an oil paint ant not a model... its hard to explain but when it is exaggerated... i dont like it, but they have some of the best in the world doing this!

Thank you

Bill Gilman
Another beautiful job, Vitor! Very nicely done! 🙂 🙂

@Victor
I think the exaggeration is sometimes in the effect of painting shadows and specially in cockpits because when closed you don't see often all the detail. It's a mix not to overdo it.
