It looks nice but those mould lines are really bugging me! I also suggest drilling out those gunbarrels. These two things will really make the model great.

Great Job! The crushed Necron on the CC arm is a cool touch. You must have a lot of previous experience. As said above though, it would look a lot cooler with drilled out gun barrels. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, the mold lines bug me too. Didn't even notice until it was mostly painted. I'm slowly rebuilding all my crafting suppliesand I don't have the tools to drill out the barrels. Yet. It's definitely moved up on the list of stuff to get though.

Loving the dismembered Necron in his hand. Great work! You're probably going to get a million and one demands that you drill the barrels of the gun out, but if you don't want to, I'd recommend at least painting the open end of the barrel on.

I saw this and like a farseer could predict that every poster would tell you to drill out the barrels.... So over rated, just paint the wholes mate and it will look fine ; )

This is just a thing i saw, and you may not agree with me but hey its feedback The wires and things are a bit to red and blue, and they kind of take away from the nice gray tone you have. I might look better with some bronze or gold or something like that instead. Just my opinion, i like everything else though, its really detailed and clean!

Thanks for the feedback so far. Yes, I know I need to do something about the barrels and I'm getting a lot better about mould lines. I also discovered liquid green stuff and it's a huge help.

The cabling I did different lie so: ribbed is insulated electrical conduit, the others were hoses so I figured some vessels feed into and some take away like blood vessels...or heating and cooling fluids, something like that. I like breaking things up a little too.

Next up...either a scout unit or some bikers...sooooo much painting to do.

I like it lot, very clean smooth paint work. If i was do any thing else it would be, paint the base and maybe add some scorching to the melta gun and paint some black holes on the barrels, but that is me being very picky. Great job.

I can tell you put a lot of effort in painting this model, and it shows. I like the fact that you painted the cables coming out of the sarcophagus, and that the tubes and the tube bands on the Melta are different colors. Those, and all the other little details really make a difference.
