Finally finished! Pictures first, text later.









This was my attempt to copy the paintscheme from the Imperial Armour Painting Masterclass book. It's my first attempt at serious weathering and includes oilpaint, airbrushing, weathering powders, washes, inks and perhaps other interesting techniques that I've already forgotten.

I also added some bits and plasticard to further enrich this already great model.

Criticism would be great to know where I can improve to my next big project..

Thanks for looking

THAT looks amazing.

Kinda looks like Nurgle has been using that can as his spitoon. Very nice!

Smokin hot I want one, too!

Looking doog mate! Airbrushing makes quite a differance. Looking forward to see it IRL.

This is a very good paintjob especially if it's the first time using those techniques, however it looks like the model is pretty shiny ( might be the pictures though ) you could give it a spray of matte varnish.

Fantastic work in particular around the sides and the cannons.

That Rocks!
I really like the detail around the exhaust pipes!

Thanks alot for all the nice comments. I did do a little mistake yesterday when I sealed it so that's my #1 lesson learned. The dusty parts doesn't look so dusty anymore (but still adds to the dirty look so no big deal).

Apart from the rust spots that are a little too distinct and the comment about matte varnish, are there any more insightful tips and ideas?

Who doesnt like big ass tanks. Good stuff.

favorite baneblade that i have seen thus far. Great job on the painting

I really like the black lenses, looks very natural.

Great work!
