A lot of this, as stated, looks severely unfinished.

Your tanks in particular just look like airbrushed plastic boxes.
Nothing about them pops and the airbrush blending looks far too clean, if that makes sense.

the problem I find with airbrushed models is more times then not they LOOK airbrushed, and for some that might be the point but for me it just looks as if hardly any effort has been put into actually detailing the model. This especially true of larger kits such as Landraiders but it's still possible to tone down the airbrushed look with some elbow grease.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great start but personally I'd swap the airbrush for a real brush and see where that gets you.

Thanks for the input. I understand where you are coming from. I find that the Airbrush style is not everyone's cup of Tea. I personally love the Sharp and Clean look that can be achieved via Airbrushes. I love bright and vibrant colors...even in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future. I guess that why i have also started Eldar lol. Personal taste i guess.
I am waiting on my shipment of Icons from Forge World for the Rhinos and the Land Raider. That should help a bit.
