Tamiya. Thanks!.
Where you are so once was I. Where I am soon you shall be. I don't do anything that is particularly hard. Developing the skill of using shades of color on an object to simulate natural light was my break through moment. Most modelers look at say an M-10 and see Olive Drab color and that's all, but when you look at the real thing that is not true. There are many different shades of Olive Drab in reality.
Simulating this variation in shading(natural light) with your painting is what will make any model you do stand out and be pleasing to your eye and others. I have not reached pinnacle of this skill because there are many others more skilled then I, but even an elementary use of this skill can improve any model. Keep trying. Ask questions. I will try and show some of this with the Panzer IV turret as poor a modeler that I am.

Hey Bob is that photo taken during the Korean war? Trying to remember.
Correct. 1952 is my best guess.
Yes that is a extreme example. I even saw a model car where the reflection of a person was painted in the model. Incredible!Where you really notice it is a real life shiny car, its 95% reflection and 5% the base colour
Thanks!
