Hi there!

Just as I posted my stealth suit paintjob, here is my battlesuit paintjob.

My overall paintscheme is scorpion green with silver. I use colors as orange and yellow to split the squads.

I specially need help with the gun. If I would make it orange, will it look to orange? Same with green? I paint all my weapons green/silver like the armor, but how could I make them stand more out?

PS; I see I have to paint the rockets to, any idea on this?
PS2; Sorry for bad quality pictures

looks Really nice

Looks a bit like Christmas

Honestly he reminds me less of christmas and more of a construction area. the painting itself is nice, but i mean you could put that thing under a blacklight and really have a party! RAVE TAU.

As far as what you asked, I think the gun should be done in an Orange/black caution tape pattern.

Hmm not sure your comments makes sence to me, do you like the scheme or not? What can I do to make it more "serious?"

Pick out some of the small details like the sensor lenses and the missile heads with contrasting colour.

I would suggest repainting the pilot cabin the same green as the rest of the armour. I don't like the red panel on the front, it looks a bit like an obvious target.

Lastly, since you've gone for a gritty look how about putting a bit of weathering on.

It looks like you just put bright color over a black undercoat? I suggest a basecoat, and layers of darker greens and reds, leading up to the bright greens and reds. Try the GW Foundation paints, and build up to the brighter colors, rather than just putting the bright colors right on the black undercoat. Or, you could just basecoat him with white- that would make everything easier on you.
