I think the underlying metallics have played through the blue layer to create that semi-metallic sheen... it really is a gorgeous effect, isn't it!?
-
it's certainly shaping up to be a beautiful build. DuPont you say? is it out of a rattle-can? what kind of paint is it, acrylic?

*COUGH*MiG-28's...

.. I know Bandais plastics are weird about thinners, so grain of salt here: get a really thin mix of your primary hull colour [like 95% thinner], and spray that over the whole model like a clearcoat, but go extremely light. this will act as a filter and "unify" or "blend" the colours of the model... there's a proper model-building term for said process, but it escapes me at the moment... They'll pop less without actually darkening them. another option that would darken [the whole ship, not just the decals] would be the above process using "Tamiya smoke" or something similar. PS: also, it looks like you havn't done the requisite "make it look like the piece of junk Luke said it was" weathering that the falcon typically gets... weather it and see if they're still popping too much for you. If you use products like Flory's washes, then you can kill two mynocks with one procedure... it will act as a filter just by the nature of the stuff and how you use it.

No good deed, eh?

Given Tom Cruise's insistence on how his stunts look... I'm hopeful we'll get some HD Aerial footage on par with Le Chevalier Du Ciel:

Sheryl got some flight training, maybe they thought she looked hotter in a set of overalls... [safer to give here an impact drill than a VF-25 too....]

Very Nice!

someone say splinter camo?
-
It certainly doesn't look like that scheme itself would be very effective... speaking of seemingly ineffective camo, this is India's Prototype Light Attack chopper: Malaysia is doing it better: it actually breaks up the outline of the bird [you know, what camouflage is supposed to do] <<EDIT>> The JASDF is doing it better too:

you got me thinking................................. and Actually: I don't think it's supposed to move at all... the flap seems to remain perfectly stationary while the backpack flips up over top of it You can see it "extended and stationary" again here: I think the whole pivoting-flap thing arose because that plate is overtech-anime-magic that would completely obstruct what we now all know and love as the normal range of motion for the backpack on a toy. So, Turns out there is room to 'accurize' that part..... but it may be more trouble than it's worth.

LOL! Mig-28 forever!! I would like a more accurate HUD...

Consumerism is a voluntary enterprise...Taxation is Robbery! it's an impressive Eva... but inspecting those close-up pics, for the money this will cost, I'm with @kajnrig: -
I would recommend Yetistand for the Ultimate in presentation. [He's also a member here on the boards, there's a very active thread about Yetistands here. Yeti is quite active and very helpful, I would suggest further inquiries be directed there.] I'm planning on picking up this combo for mine: Yetistand Beta [+ etched UN Spacy Kite] + 1/6 Figure Adapter So has yours tipped forward yet? or have you been lucky? Mine has an imperfect helmet beak now... <<Edit>> OH! and Welcome to the Madness!!

VF-1D Profile VT-1 Profile VT-1 Ortho Look pretty Normal sized to me... EDIT They're smaller on the Hasegawa kit though... that's likely where this compromise for the anime magic became standard. D5 vs K9 [k9 is the standard valk stabilizer... it's greyed-out to signify "do not use"]

Batman: Hush - DCU Animated Movie (Summer 2019)
slide replied to no3Ljm's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If they ERASED Ben Affleck and replaced him with Bruce Timm's batman they'd be infinitely better... Hush is one of my favorite Batman arcs, and since DC Animated is doing it, that means this storyline will be safe from the hands of the WB Live-Action people. *massive relief* Sword of Azrael and Knightfall would be sweet.
