Here I am painting a little table top quality contingent of SM for my own purpose.
That's the fist model... I have still to finish it, but suggestions ?!

Drill weapon barrels. Otherwise it looks good.

I do not have a drill for weapon barrels :( so I had to paint it...
That's the final result... maybe too damaged ?

No it looks really nice. Yellow isn't the most workable color in the world but you have done a good job weathering it. I would suggest burnt umber for shadows (Vallejo Model Air) since it goes in much better than brown. You can also try burnt umber oil paint and make a wash with it.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, i'll try it

Another yellow one...

I would suggest an edge highlight as someone who plays imperial fists as well. Also have a side project because yellow will become maddening after awhile.

Could've sword I commented on here before. Oh well: Very good work on those, the yellow is a great shade.

The only thing I'd suggest is hitting the armour joints on the VV with metallics, other than that they're great!

Thanks a lot mate! Armour joints with metallics ? Do you mean boltgun metal ? Or black would be better ?

Boltgun metal and then wash with black, simple and looks good.
