This is a Hammerhead I had just painted up recently, I did it with a crappy Digital Camera so the quality isn't all to good. This is my first post so I hope you guys like my work.

does look good & clean but as you say the photos don't really convey enough detail. Also the light glare doesn't help.
You seem to have shaddow (the panel lighting) & basecoat but no highlight - but then larger vehicles often look better without too many highlights esp Tau craft.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

Look good and clean. Maybe some highlighting would really make it pop.

Did you clear coat it with a gloss? Looks shiny but that could be from the crummy camera.

Again, nice and clean, thats what Tau paint jobs need.

I had base-coated the entire thing with a Red Oxide, and then used a clean white on sevrel places. After I was all finished I shined it over with a gloss to give it that true tau look. Here is another pic.

Is the gun angled down on the modle or is it just the picture? anyways if it is that's a nit picky thing. Im gonna say what everyone else has nice and clean.
