    We're not gletting closer to a new Akira adaption, which is probably a good thing, but here's an interesting attempt to visualize live action Akira characters by AI art:

    So is this getting like the inkjet printers where they throw the printer at you and then milk you with the material prices? The results look pretty promising anyway.

    @wm cheng That's the 1/48 Hobby Boss kit (I guess I'm too old for 1/72), so the airbrushing is not that fine, I still do it with my single-action Badger, and it's pretty relaxing. I eyeball all the the colors, sometimes I have a specific photo in front of me that I want to match. I have Pantone color swatches that I can hold up to the screen to translate the image to physical colors, which I then try to match with mixes of Tamiya paint. I try to document every color I mix for a kit with color chips, so I can work from previous mixes. I also try to streamline the painting process, so less unfinished kits end up on the shelf of doom. What works best for me lately is the dark (usually Dark Sea Grey) basecoat, upon which a single layer of semi-gloss (usually by the addition of gloss white) camo color is applied panel by panel. With sharp panel lines like on the HB kit, there's no need to even do a wash after that.

    Did Bayraktar just make an unmanned J-20?

    Dance of the Mighty Dragons IMO the most SF looking operational plane right now.

    Profile comparison w Hase If you switch the center fuselages, you could make a super slim & a phat variant.

    I wonder how this could happen, with the P-63 steering right into the B-17 in bright daylight.

    He implies that the mix should be adjusted so that the metallic effect is just visible.

    I can see Meero & Karn being deployed to the Death Star in the end and forwarding an analysis of the Rebel attack to Tarkin...

    Here's a suggestion for a receipe for stealthy paintjobs: That's Tamiya's new 1/48 F-35 btw.
