Hello Guys,
I'd like to show you a model I've painted two years ago










Painting tutorial here:

Nice dude. Almost exact same arm configuration as my recently finished Dread .

Nice weathering too, though I'd like to see a few paint chips in there if I'm honest

The rust to the top of the engine at the back looks great. Also the white on the face has a really nice feel to it. Over all weathering is fantastic.

Top notch work.

Only thing I'm thinking is "That's not Evil Sunz, its Bad Moons" Otherwise, lovely model.

Yellow is Bad Moonz.
Red is Evil Sunz.

Love it. Great work!

Yep. My mistake Thank you guys!

This is amazing. From the paintjob to the picture. A little heavy on the airbrushing though...

Really, Enzephalon? I'm not getting an overly strong "airbrushed" vibe, and that's something that usually jumps out at me. I mean, I can see where he did it, but if looks reasonably natural, to my eye.

For me, the rust is the biggest visual oddity. It may be the photo (or my monitor, for that matter), but the body rust has a bit of a purple tinge while the rust on the exhaust is such a vivid red that it appears almost glowing (promising technique, if you ever need to represent black body radiation on a model).

Overall, though, I absolutely love this model. The weathering is great, even with those aforementioned oddities. The yellow is perfect, though much of that is linked to the weathering. Great work!

I don't feel like it's obviously air brushed.
I agree the rust is a bit overstated, but just a bit.
My only other observation is that the lenses could be a little more detailed relative to the rest of the model.

I would say that the airbrushing is spot on. It serves as a basecoat, a shading and a gradiant effect on the tusks. Therefore in my mind the use of airbrushing is spot on, and i want one
Great model and insane paintjob! I enjoy your videos and they are amongst the reason i started this hobby in the first place!

Cheers

Inspiring paint job and a video tutorial! Thank you.

Did you protect the rust-coloured undercoat with varnish to make sure only the yellow colour was removed by the steel brush? Also did you use any liquid mask?

Hey I know you! nice videos :3

Outstanding!

Please check out my other vids - there is tutorial about making the scratches

I've seen a lot of your videos, they're very good

I found the one where you show scratching the paint off the hatch but how do you protect the rust colour from being scratched off right down to the plastic? Do you use a varnish layer before the hull colour?

I sealed the surface with a hairspray, before applying the final color. It helps scratching

Excellent Deff Dredd! I really like the techniques and the overall effect. Thanks for sharing those tips!

I forgot to add the vid about scratching. Here it is:
