    I think you are very critique-ist to yourself, my friend @lis : your painting result is excellent!

    @johnb thank you! @fiveten I think you are right my friend. But If I don't make sth I can't sleep at night, and thinking about it, that could be better done.

    Prop are done. Yellow tips in that round is acceptable I think. Some weathering was done, and some semi gloss clear.

    Looks great, @lis. I agree with the others...your results are excellent, so don't be self-critical to the point that building stops being fun. I used to build models for contests, but it stopped being fun. So now I just build for my own enjoyment and I don't worry much about mistakes. Now I enjoy model-building again. Remember, modeling is supposed to be relaxing, not something more to worry about.

    absurdly wrapped model to paint exit holes for Browning 0.303 machine guns.

    Unfortunetly tape broke NMF in few very little points (I don't know why), and I need to repaint it. Photo is done after repairing painting. Gun ports are done also. I hope it looks OK.

    Your repair has been done nicely, Lis @lis
    At least nothing is visible from what has happened.
    It sometimes happens to me as well and I'm still figuring out why that occurs as well.

    Can't tell there was a problem, @lis, well done. When stuff like that happens, I figure it was the paint not adhering properly, or I didn't clean the surface well enough, or some bad karma, or I didn't make an offering to the paint gods...who knows?
