Hey Folks,
time to paint the last little element on the body of Lauka Vai, today we will paint the nmm sword together.

When we have a look at the sculpt of lauka vai, we can really see what plastic models of today are capable of, it´s crazy to see the amount and the fineness of the details.

To achieve the same level of...
