Ok, I won't bore you by posting my old stuff, but I will post any newly completed or wip stuff here.
First up is my Ork truck, and tankbuster nob
All c&c greatly appreciated

Love those squigs!

cheers dude, actually they were the easiest tnings i've painted.

My main concern is that your truck is TO RED. It looks kind of like you just basecoated it red. I at least like to see a lot of bare metal with a generous wash of nuln oil for things like engines and the wheels. It looks like you may have had some silver but then washed it with sepia making it fall away against the red. A good dry brush of silver on the edges for chipped paint is also very orky. And some of the bolted on armour plates could still be in their original colours too. as if they just bolted pieces of broken rhino or tank of your choice on there. it looks a little better on the bike but I am generally not a fan of washing silver with a brownish wash when its supposed to contrast a red. A bit of a lighter red highlight could also bring some of the details back out

Fair point. I was trying for a dirty oily look, which may have washed out some of the colours. Although it looks a lot better in person than it does in the photos. I'll re do some of the detailing when I get a chance, plus maybe a matt varnish will help.


For now though, the other two bikes, just need to sort out the riders now.

"Yeah, I just think that the black wash does oily grime better and it gives you a nice contrast at the same time, the bikes look good, looks kind of rust covered on the first one.

cheers dude, thats the look i'm trying for. I'll pick up some black ink this weekend and see how that works. Oh and don't worry about leaving negative feedback, I appreciate it as much as the positive comments, and its actually more helpful as it lets me know what areas i need to improve on.
