This was a gift for a friend. I was sooooo tired of painting green by the end.

**cody20**

AWesome!!!!

**MrMerlin**

Great paintjob! I love the color combination and the "texture" of the plates!

**Diakka**

Really nice color combination! The carapace is top notch. Usually the ones I see painted with this method are sub par, but yours is phenomenal! The greens look great as well, what base green did you use?

Base coat was Vallejo black green, followed by a purple wash. The primary color is Vallejo Deep Green, highlighted with GW Snot Green, then Goblin Green. Hard edges got a final highlight of 50:50 Yellow/Goblin Green.

Very nice.

Wow amazing, I think a lovely shade of green and a really nice colour combination! Nice little details like the little poison sacks next to the tail stinger also.

**Leech**

That is cool. I really like how you've done the shell, it looks very realistic.

**CT GAMER**

You need to keep painting nids because you have a talent for painting them. I am planning on doing mine the same color green but with purple Carapace.

**foreplay241**

that is honestly amazing, great detail and awesome scheme i almost want to change my scheme to that, but i hate painting too much, lol

**Cutthroatcure**

Can you give us the run down for paints on the other parts of the model?

**Pnyxpresss**
