Thank you Gilbert. The yellow is satin but because of the flash there is an optical effect that makes it shiny. All my colors are acrylic satin, covered with a varnish also satin. Thank you for the encouragement, I was very inspired by your editing and your directionsBonjour Sylvain
Tu avances super vite !!! You are moving super fast !!
Nice work
I could comment that I find the yellow a bit to bright compared to the real ship. But of course this is a question of individual taste.
Keep it up
