Custom 1/60 Tomahwak

[Sebastian]

Last custom I made was YEARS ago! Finally got some time 4 the Tomahawk... this is an incredibly nice built toy IMO. One of the best by Yamato so far.

The light was really bad so some details are really hard to see.

Only problem is I lost the damn pilot!!!

Beautiful. I love the leg art. Did you disassemble the whole thing to retouch it? Also the guns look great, did you repaint those?

[Sebastian]

It is completely air brushed, detailed and decaled... Sadly the light was totally wrong wen I took the pictures so it is hard to see the weathering but it is there.

I can see the weathering fine. Well done, its very nice.

That is wicked sweet! Great job. Really elegant and subtle, top notch work! Good for you. Thanks to your high regard for this figure I think that I just may have to keep my preorder for the Defender. Thanks.

Looks great. I like that you didn't go weathering crazy. Very tasteful.

Very sweet - That weathering is most sweet - it has that ingrained, but clean, look... at least from the pictures. Brilliant

great job on it

better than any Yamato overpriced limited crap they can put out

[BlueMax]

Great stuff.... still remember the somewhat low viz vf-1 you did a few years back

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Sebastian always goes for the subtle approach. I still have the pics of his Scope Dog in my customs folder, so I can do the same to my Dog one day.

BTW, Sebastian: Which color did you used for the shading of the Tomahawk? Is it a black, gray or a darker brown? Did you clear coated the thing afterwards? Thanks.

[Sebastian]

Thanks for the nice comments guys!!

Funny some of you still remember the old stuff I made so long ago!!! Specially the "low vis" that was like 6 years ago!!!

LSB, I used a Nato Black for the weathering and a dark brown, After I made the basic weathering I sprayed the light khaki (I had to mix the paint, it is easy, tamiya khaki and white) to soften the weathering. Then add details and some more weathering, panel lines, and a top coat. Normally the Top coat is semi gloss so the decals say Ok. Finally applied a semi gloss clear coat.

Since you liked the Scope Dog I made, I will later post some pics of a strong Bachus I made about the same time.

thanks for the again guys!!

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Cool! Can't wait to see those. Thanks a lot for the directions. Someday I'll get around to do my 1/60 SDF-1 Hangar Bay mega-display.
