Subject: Space Marine Vindicator - Crimson Fists - Whatcha think?
Great stuff as always! very nice mud effects, i love them! My only critice would be to point out that, while being perfectly dirted up, it has no scratches and chipped off paint. Believe me, it makes a model look so much more realistic!
Your use of magnets is awesome and very very clean. The highlights and body lines are exceptionally well done. I would second Merlin's comment regarding the chipping/battle damage, it would only help but improve the look of your model. The only other comment I would make is about the back door hatch. If the tank is that muddy and dirty, why has the crew not tracked any mud up the ramp? Do they have a vacuum cleaner inside the Vindicator :p
All in all, very nice work.

I have not chipped up or worn my tanks yet, ya know why..... Fluff wise, I am using all my tanks as just after the mishap on Rynns World. All my tanks are just recieved by Pedro Kantor, the field trials are done and they are now ready to go to war. Because I have never played them in game, it works! I think I am going to add battle damage to my tanks the more I play them.
As for the mud, you are absolutely correct! My first Rhino I did mud up the rear hatch and it ended up being a pain in the arse as the mud got in the way of the door opening and closing, so I opted to remove a little of the realisim for functionality.
