Well here we are... this took a while to complete but i learnt a lot along the way!~

The pictures aren't as good as they could be due to my light box being rather too small for the model... ( im going to be getting a larger one asap!)

Enjoy!

Good work. I have one of those things and I know how hard they can be to paint. I like how you've handled this. I suggest a little more highlighting on the edges of the carapace, even a very light drybrush would do it. This would help to bring out the shape of the whole model. What are you going to do with the base? This thing has such a large base there is loads of things you could do on it, signs of Tyranid infestation etc.

heres pictures of the base by the way

How to do drool effect? :OOOOOOOOOOOOO

i see what you did there, and i approve
keep up the good work

awesome saliva effects....great looking model, I like the realistic earthy tones....great piece!

Really well done mate. It's nice to see nids in a something other than really bright colours.

Thanks all!

I'll be getting some better pictures up soon, in the process of making a bigger light box!
