Rhino

vroom vroom

The rhino is officially complete, although some decals may be added later, and some freehand on roof hatch might be done at some point too.

This was the first model really started with an airbrush, and it turned out rather well when not in a photo. The shading in particular helps define areas, so much so that there was little need to edge highlight anything.

Actually in general I've been doing less edge highlights of late, and trying to make them less bright when I want to. Shading and blending work better in my opinion, with edge highlights helping make something in particular stand out rather than being used to define every edge of armour plating.

There aren't any new techniques that haven't been covered before, so there's really not much more to say about this model. The name scroll was done with pencil, black, and Lahmian Medium, as noted in a previous post. Look closely on the actual model and some of the pencil is visible still - something to look into getting rid of on future models.

All in all, I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I didn't go overboard on the vehicle, but decals and shading keep it looking interesting anyway. I'll save going overboard for something....bigger.
