Just when I thought the rainy season was over, we've been hit with scorching heat every day. It's so hot, I can't do anything but build model kits in an air-conditioned room. Ah, I want to eat yakiniku (Japanese BBQ).

So, this is my entry for the "こだわりです" (こだわりです means "particular theme") contest.

My recent obsession is the burnt effect on the vernier nozzles. Just adding this increases the amount of detail and makes it three times more realistic (this is just my personal opinion 😅), and it's an easy way to improve the detail. There are various ways to do it, but this is how I do it:

① Color source: Blue + Clear Orange
I apply it with an airbrush over a base coat of burnt iron color.
