Meh im not a fan of the checker for the sheer fact i suck at straight edges
lol. Im going with the flames, so far im liking it. My fine tip brush is being reglued
atm though..the metal came off the stick ughh.
Paint damage is kinda mandatory for orks, i was more referring to heavier than usual or, more rather, extreme detail wear and tear not just metal-paint edgings and random streaks. Which is what i normally do (drybrushing light metal paints
ftw) or sponging a dark, reddish brown for rush.
Once i get the flames done i'll post another pic. Might be awhile though thanks to that stinkin brush breaking
lol (got bout half of the flames fine-touched with light blue, gonna finish the rest then do the white tips) (yes i know, light then dark for fire, it would look weird having it white light blue on a dark blue jet)
EDIT: While my hand is good at detail, im not THAT great for hand-done graffiti
lol transfer sheets waiting for their turn already.
EDIT2: Flames are done. I think my paints were a little thick because i had a very hard time getting it smooth but at arms-length (which is what matters most) it looks damn awesome. Originally i had some on the middle behind the pilor too, but either i messed it up or it just looked weird so i took them out.
Now to just do some finishing touches....then onto jet#2
