Looking for some input...
Almost done but feel I could do better...

Very nice! I like it!

Thanks !!!!! I'm just very critical of my work and some encouragement or input helps....
Even if it's only one post from a forum of thousands....

That is some crazy ass attention to detail! great job. I go mad when it comes to the Drop pod kit, just a nightmare to paint but you made it look great!

If you want more responses, make the title a little more specific, like "Dark Angels Drop Pod, looking for C&C" or something to that effect, Dark Angel WIP isn't very enticing

Do you have any more photos?

OK, not a WIP anymore....

Dude that is bad ass!!!!!! Such a clean paint job and the iconography is awesome nice work fella

The edge highlights are too bright. It looks like it's glowing with neon trim.

Looks super clean, great job! You got an incredibly steady hand with the edge highlights (and other details as well obviously). Wouldn't worry about quality at all.

The highlights are indeed a bit too "high", but I'd pay for that level of a paintjob.

Nice and clean paint job, well done

If I had to pick on it, I would suggest the following:

1) As other people have mentioned, the highlights are a little harsh. I usually work my DA paint jobs up to a 1:1 mix of Warpstone Glow and Bleached Bone, for areas with the most reflected light, which seems to be subtle enough. Most of my highlights are just Warpstone Glow. What are you using here?

2) The green is a little flat, you could add a darker shade in there and wet blend it in to add more depth, or add a darker glaze over the top.

3) The metallic icon is a little flat, you could add a wash and some highlighting to add more depth.

Maybe you could try these things on a smaller mini and see if you like it, it would be easy enough to then improve the drop pod if you wanted.

Stiiiiiiilll.......I like it, cool stuff
