Here I finished some tanks and characters and a pair of Sentinels for a customer. I did my best to match a previous scheme from a painting service in the UK. I magnetized EVERY weapon, and manufactured a hydraulic for the HK missiles for the Sentinels.

The skin isn't done very well on the guys, and looks not so great, but the vehicles look great.

Can't believe i'm gonna say this... but i really like the little buttercups on the sentinel bases! How did you do them? The tanks look good too, nice work

The buttercups are nice. A little ray of sunshine in a grim dark universe. I am also curious how you made them or if its prey made model scenery, which brand?

The skin could use a bit more work (maybe a wash), but I do really like the Chimera loadouts (I never thought of doing that).

Also, the Sentinel and it's base are done well.

Nice looking. The vehicles could all use a little bit of aging or weathering in my opinion.

Maybe it's hot from the forge. That's usually how I like my vehicals as I tend to go overboard with weathering and rust.

Thanks for the compliments. The Models were painted at our level II and so don't get weathered. I have some IG tanks that I did for another customer in my gallery that are how I like to paint tanks. I admit I am not as good at skin as I used to be, I lost all feeling in my hands about four years ago, and so I have lost a lot of dexterity. The buttercups are pre-made. They come from a company called Army Painter, they retail for $6.00 USD, they have several types, and I love them!

Even fresh off the line, tanks are never clean.
There's always grease, oil, and dust somewhere.

Yeah, I wanted to put dents, and scuff marks all over them, and oil and grease and dirt. I personally like that real feel of even these fantasy tanks. I have started putting(retrofit) panniers on all my Russ and Baneblade turrets to make them look like they are actually crewed by people and not just a very expensive toy
