Those are beautiful peices! Very nice! The Short Seamew you did looks like you preshaded before you painted the main colors. Did you? Or did you get that effect with pastels only? And if so how did you do it? It looks great!!!!

The model was pre-shaded but after painting the effect did not look good enough so I used dark grey pastels and using a small brush put it into the panel lines, I then brushed it off with a large make up brush which leaves the effect you see

Looks very cool! I like the effect! I will have to give that technique a try. I really like how the panel lines pop.
