Your work is simply amazing. There's just so much to learn about modelmaking. Thanks for sharing your wonderful art works with us. I'll be so looking forward to how the models will turn out.
Cool stuff there. It seems that you like your colors bright, clean & with sharp dark contrasting linings. Very anime in nature. (reminds me of Street Fighter Zero arcade).
It means both the white & grey wash is too thin. Instead, try enamel silver. Even when thinned, it will stay on much better. After you've wiped off the excess, coat with flat coat & the silver will end up as grey.
Oh, what I meant was more details such as panel lining & such. Given the size of the Destory, the arms are pretty big with lots of space for extra details & accessories.
Think Metal Gear Rex.
My photography setup is very similar to this 2-part FAQs.

Hopes it helps.
To Less than Super Ostrich : Yup, it's the Hasegawa Battroid 1:72.
To HWR MKII : I make the surface as smooth as possible, ie as glossy as possible. Then did a wash method with diluted enamel black.
To nightmareB4macross : I felt that the Skull would add more depth to the otherwise bland area. (you were spot on HWR MKII!)
To Grayson72 : It's just Preshading. Cover the whole kit in dark Grey. Then preshade with white using an airbrush with a low pressure (psi).
Thanx for all comments. I'll bear them in mind esp regarding the shading sections.
Yup. Friends of mine who don't understand anime thinks it's just a cartoon like any others. I've given up trying to explain my view on anime on them.
These days, if I hear someone mention that it's childish or anything like that, I just smile & say "whatever."
