This - my test paint for the big picture - the diorama Tau

**rollawaythestone**

I love it. It has a very gritty cyber-punk feel to it. A+ job!

**Big Mac**

Ace work, I like the glow is not overly done like most airbrush painters do, now a base to compliment this awesome figure.

**Retrogamer0001**

Hands down, nicest SS I've ever seen.

**Desubot**

Looks super cool

i really like the way you did the yellows.

**JamesY**

Very nice. Fantastic transitions from yellow to black.

**Elbows**

Nice work. I get a Bubblegum Crisis feel from the paintwork and that's not a bad thing.

**insaniak**

Outstanding work on a thoroughly ridiculous looking model...

I love how you've managed to get such a bright yellow tone while still keeping it gritty and grubby. Nice work!

That's the reason I don't like osl. It's so overdone with an airbrush and makes it look like the models are in a deep dark hole carrying around a light bulb. But this looks fantastic OP

**Brother SRM**

Me oh my, that's tasty. The hex patterns fading in with the electric blue are a wonderful touch.

**octavus**

Wow. Just fantástic!

**Demidov**

Thanks to all. BUT! I only paint brush))))))))

**NidLifeCrisis**

Beastly!

**ChiliPowderKeg**

Looks beautiful

The way the shading works on this mini looks like a true to life version of the 3rd edition box art for tau kits

**Demidov**

TAU. The first three participants are ready to diorama)

**TheLumberJack**

Hot damn looking nice

**xofox**

Those are some fricken epic tau... Dang Nice!

You, sir, are amazing!

The depth of the contrast on the models, it is just so beautiful. And the fade from the yellow to the black, highlighted occasionally with the blue glow, it just gives the models their own atmosphere!

I am glad to know that something so awesome can be accomplished with brush alone! (I too only use paint brushes.)

**Talizvar**

I really like how the yellow armor plates weather / oxidize whatever you call it toward a deep red.
Either that or a few point-blank shots at the enemy has painted the armor.

**Demidov**

Thanks!

**Rotary**

Great wet blending on those blue/black spheres on the leg. I wish I could do that

**Manus**

Spot on colorscheme - best Tau I ever saw

**Demidov**

Thanks)

**IGtR=**

This is definitely the best collection of Tau suits that I have seen and they make me like what I previously thought were silly cartoony models.

Thankyou for sharing with us
