I have been working on my Elysian drop troops and this is my first painted Valkyrie. What do you think? I also did a home-made cyclops demolition vehicle.









My Cyclops Demo Vehicle.

I like the nice clean colours, but on the glass sensor parts the red dot isn't enough to create a reflected effect. Try a few more highlights to get there.

I like the scheme. Can you post some close-up canopy pics? It's kinda hard to tell how you painted the pilot/copilot.

Crew pics as requested.





Sorry it's out of focus.

Thanks! Looks good!

Your Welcome ('')

Great, clean colours, nice camo-pattern that's not too much, sweet red details on the wings that keep the paintjob from being too bland.
In other words, excellent job!

I'm looking forward to seeing more. Great job.

This Cyclops Demolisher looks totally bad-ass! How did you make it?

I got the tracks from ebay I'll try to find where their from, sensors from the razorback kit, antenna is from a Valkyrie, and theirs a sensor from a sentinel in the middle behind the main lens. Body's plasticard with a regular Aquila. Going to try and post a tutorial if I get the time.

Looking good, can't wait to see more!

Darn it, i was hoping to see some Elysians and not just the valk. Any of those on the way ?

To be honest the Valkyrie looks great ! But I agree with Blapblapblap on the highlights.

Seconded for how awesome the Valk looks, seconded for seeing some actual Elysians.

I will be monitoring this thread closely.

Very nice. The camo looks bland and off. To many areas are a solid color.

Thta really is my only issue, well that and the lenses but that was brought up.

Thanks for the compliments/criticism. Sorry about no new pictures but the painting fronts been going slow due to end of the year exams. Going to try to get some infantry up here soon...
