Hi, all.

Thought I'd post some pics, for viewing and general critiquing. Now, this is my very first attempt at painting vehicles; I think they turned out quite well, baring in mind that before this weekend I've never even attempted to take brush to a vehicle.

My two Sentinels:







My Leman Russ Vanquisher:







My 'Mechanicus' Valkyrie. The origin of this idea was that my pilots fell out of the cockpit; the glue didn't fuse properly, and I couldn't get the pilots back in. So, what I thought was 'sod it', I'll armour the canopy and claim a Servitor is flying it. I had a spare sprue from a friend's Imperial Bastion, so I added a few parts from that, like the golden statue on the top of the fuselage, and the 'spot light'-thing on the ramp.

I'm quite proud of this.

I love that Mechanicus Valkyrie - epic idea, especially seeing how well you've pulled it off as well. AS for the other vehicles, for a first effort they are exceptional - I'm in the throes of painting my first Land Speeder and I have to say I'm not enjoying it (although I think it's the fault of choosing the wrong primer), but for a first effort your own are looking great! I especially like the plasma gun and the subtle sooty weathering (at least I take it to be weathering) on the cockpit of the sentinels. Excellent - keep it up

Thank you kindly, warpig. Yes, it is my attempt at weathering. It's a mixture of the hairspray technique, weathering powder, inks, and a swipe here and there with a tactical sponge.

The Valkyrie could use some sort of eyecatcher, but otherwise the paintjobs looks very good. ^^
