Thanks Ray!

Slowly getting somewhere on the painting. I want to post this update otherwise it feels like I'm stagnating

Some of the fine details (the aquilla/twin-headed eagle, sensors and windows) are done, as well as the burnt-metal on the multi-meltas,
and the blood-gem on the main gun's raven. I've started on (a beginner's attempt at) OSL on the front headlights, these will have a bluish tint to them.

I still need to do a bunch of highlighting on the main body, and a bit of weathering. And of course the whole thing is still shiny from the
gloss coat I put on before this step - it'll get a good matte varnish coat after.

The main sore-thumb however is the two doors on the side. I got sick of the bleached bone / orangey color, so I re-based them
dark blue, and then added a brushed-on pre-shade. I'm layering this with lighter coats of grey-white now, then I have to
do the details...

Don't understand everything you're talking about but wow - sure does make the details pop.

Looks good. The dark wash around the raised rivets and such really makes them pop.

Thanks guys! I'm still learning a lot of this stuff as well, it can be a bit overwhelming. I think I sometimes bite off more than I can chew

Here's the finished model, paint job is complete.
At least, I call it complete. Because otherwise I'd be tempted to go in and redo everything a million times, and never really finish it

Great job! A build to try and match.

[g0rb]

Thanks Tom, appreciate it!

[rockpaperscissor]

Now that is impressive. Truly modeling at its finest.

That is some really nice work.
