by Jaime Carreon on June 3, 2015 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

USS Indianapolis (Premium Edition) UPDATED

by Rob Pollock on June 2, 2015 · in Ships · 42 ≡

UPDATE Earlier this month, I posted this article about the USS Indianapolis. I noted that the mid-line blue on the hull was, in retrospect, the wrong colour. It made the ship look more like a fairground attraction than a USN vessel, and [...]

by Greg Kittinger on March 30, 2015 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is a 2009 build. I was still finishing in semi-gloss back then, and didn't do much weathering - just some turbo exhaust and fuel stains, no panel wash or other shading/weathering. I thought the rocket launcher tubes were interesting [...]
