This is my first vehicle attempt and a X-mas gift for my husband. No decals were used all freehand. Any feedback is welcomed. Enjoy

Firstly very nice freehand and wonderful model. SO my only question is where is the blue glow on the wing fuel tanks coming from in the one pic or is it radiating from the base stand whish i'm guesssing is coming from the engine LED's

Awesome

Wow. Awesome job.

I love the unique paint scheme. Very nice free hand work too. You husband will love it.

Thanks for all the comments. Much appreciated. Was a tad worried about this one it being my first vehicle and all the weathering. As for the question about the blue glow on the gas tank, yes it would be because of the light coming from the jets. I'll post another pick later of a tail view.

Wow that looks fantastic, the weathering and the free hand are excellent.

Amazing paintjob.

I think that is the best Christmas present ever, what an amazing wife! Paintjob is excellent and the LEDs take it into awesome

Freehand? Damn, except a couple tiny spots i really cant tell you freehanded those checkers. Thats impressive, even if you used tape to ensure straight edges thats impressive.
Thats the whole reason i avoided that scheme for my orks, i dislike decals being the core of the graphics and that is way too hard to do normally lol

EDIT: Wish i had a GF like you.... lol....you'd totally understand when i yell WAAAAAAAGH as i rush to hug you rofl.

That is just fantastic.

Normally I am not a huge fan of lighting, but the engines look amazing.

*Edit* Oh and excellent paint job.

Thank you....and yes I understand the WAAAAAAAGH.....it's a daily accurance especially Monday night game nights lately with the guys playing Gorkamorka :-) And oddly enough no tape or even drawing lines with pencil first...just brush. My hubby is disgusted by this and grumbles each time I paint freehand. Merry Christmas all :-)

Brilliant work all around, but I must say, the work you did on the exhaust pipes is above and beyond.

yeah the Dakkajet I painted looks lame now by comparison. I think she will have to paint the rest of my Boyz vehicles now

Posted an additional shot of the engines lit up per request. Thanks guys. Appreciate the compliments. They give me inspiration to do more

Very cool lighting complements a very good paint job. The White Baron has a lot of character and stands out very much. Thanks for sharing.

okay , I hate to do threadomancy. But I just gotta brag. The very first contest that my wife entered that gave actual prizes was yesterday and today, called the Lonestar Figure show. The White Baron received a silver, as well as the Trygon Prime that she painted. I am very proud of her
