Right so the build is complete and base layer underway, I must admit a simple build but enjoyable with only minor filling required. Panel lines seem quite nice so a good guide for when shadow lining but not lifted or indented enough for a wash.
Colour wise I am tempted to go a clean white/grey as I have seen this on some other builds rather than the standard DPM. Although I am unsure if keys with this scheme carried a nuke? But saying that I will be using decals provided so I can't be that fussy 😂
As always any advice or background from ScaleMates appreciated 👍
