Well done! That smooth little flow on the TL is really cool, and adds to your painting style.

@WarbossDakka - Happy to help

@Eggroll - I didn't, I really should though I bet my insurance company would like to know how much to insure it for and I would need pictures/amounts for that. Stay tuned then.

@EDC - Thanks mate

@Justaerin - Thank you for the kind words

@d00m - Cheers!

Update: On to the last bit, the torso!

@Dysartes - Oh yes, I spent far to much time on the interior to hide it!

@Justaerin - Course, how else would you run down heretics??

@Gits - Well I tried a couple of things, but I do wonder if I should have done OSL on both weapons?

@Graven - Yeah I had to do that a couple of times, even now its not perfect.

Update: Some washes applied to the hull

Awe. Pure Awe is what i'm feeling right now. For such a large model, you've put so much effort into the little details, especially the two weapons. Congratulations on a huge job, well done.
