Finally finished my DHV model
God, that's one hell of a project for me. At first, I thought this kit would only required assembly. Then the Color Guide page on the instruction hit me: “Wait… am I supposed to paint it myself? and color separation? and those small tiny as hell decals!?” To my brain:"of course! id*ot, this ugly plastic gray can't be the color showed on the model box".
But I love DS 1,2 so much, I decided to be patient and learn all the techniques involved in model building. bought all the necessary tools, and after some work, I finally managed to finish it.
I know there are still many flaws-those balls are too glossy (I’ll use matte coat later), the color mixing isn’t quite accurate, the roof is over-dirty, and the details could be better. But I think, for my first hand-painted model, it turned out pretty good lol.
