There are some of my first paint jobs ever so go easy on me. Ive done about 4-5 other paint jobs besides these.

For a first timer they look pretty good...my first paint job was not as nice looking.

I like the burnt effect you did with the jump pack

the reds and whites could use a wash though.

Yea the guy with out the jump pack I did first and didnt like the bright red. The jumpack was second. Ill go back and wash his reds, and whites ill post again when i do it.

Agreed.

The neatness and attention to detail for your first bits of work is great. My feeling is that black at the moment is a little flat. A useful technique I've found for getting a black with depth is to basecoat Adeptus battlegrey, then wash heavily with badab black. After a layer or two, you get real depth in the crevices, and the grey auto-highlights the ridges because the wash doesn't stay on it very well.

All that being said, it still stands up as a great start- far better than my own first paintjobs.
