Alright I have spent the last five hours on this thing. Hope it isn't too bad.

Add img tags to those links next time or no one is going to look at them.

here:

Now for my two cents... Hit the model with a couple washes and it will look 100% better

**BlutEisenRegel**

Thanks for the image help and yeah I washed the skin/bike frame with Devlan mud. Maybe another layer...

**oadie**

Agreed. The painting is clean - surface looks pretty smooth and you stayed in the lines - but it lacks depth. A bit of simple highlighting and/or further washes should help. Drilling out the tips of those exhausts and the dakkagun barrels will help the piece look a bit more finished, too.

**BlutEisenRegel**

Alright I can do that. I am working on the warboss on a bike right now so his bike will have a blood red highlight and a couple more layers of wash. I'll do some drilling on his guns too.

**Buttlerthepug**

I cant help but notice alot of plastic... Are you painting strait onto the model? If so you really need to prime it first!

Id say touch up on all that plastic thats showing (unless my eyes are decieving me!) and wash it, though it seems you already have.

Good Start none the less.

**BlutEisenRegel**

Yeah I see the plastic too... Warboss is on the way and is going to be better.
