Tanks.
Well, I finally bought an air compressor for the airbrush I never used. Tested it out on a Basilisk, Warhammer 40k, tank kit I was working on. Really nothing to see, cause I rushed it and it turned out messy :(. But, eventually I'll get the hang of it. The zoom of the camera and the flash really make all the little mistakes stand out :(. But, it's been awhile since I worked on any kits. It was fun to get back into it again. Next up I'll be working on a Demolisher tank.
