GUEST GALLERY: "T-55 Enigma" 1/35 by JOSE LUIS LOPEZ.

This model is a perfect example of the use of painting effects to turn a plastic model into an amazing representation of a real vehicle. Jose Luis Lopez uses the light effects to enhance the volumes of the models, he also apply a wide range of weathering and dirt effects to get an awesome and realistic contrast.
JL is one of those modellers who love to experiment and try new techniques. He uses a black and white pre-painting to check if the effects work well together before applying the colour with transparent layers. As you can see, the result is impressive.
