did a bit of basecoating with chaos black to make the preperation for the metal parts of the kitbashed steamy guys...6 out of 10...
then i got a bit sidetracked with a warzone mini...
this is a try for the: " Phantom Abteilung"
what do you think... am i crazy or what^^

so ...
i did lots of not documentaried work on the steamy soldiers...pics maybe tomorrow...
but i got a little further sidetracked and did a second try on a warzone mini...
to decide which scheme i should use i ask you fair pople of dakka to help me see this through...
so here is the former...with a bit of daylight and a new backround technique...
and the new one...
so what do you like what do you despise...
are there details i should swap colorwise...
i am totally open to suggestions...and much needed are these as there are about 50+ minis waiting to see their fill...
