Hi guys, this is the first model I've put into the gallery, well first proper one at least, this was my entry for a painting competition at my local GW store. I won the comp and felt it was about time to upload some pictures of it for some c&c. Any criticism and suggestions on how to improve are welcome guys. Also sorry for the task pictures, my camera isn't the best..
Cheers

Love the look of that, really well done

It looks really good and I love the weathering. I think my only issue is that you painted the flight stand. It looks kind of awkward.

Thanks guys.
@Darth, in hindsight I probably would have either covered the stand when priming or left it off until it was painted, I'm not sure on it myself really

Very well done, masking and an airbrush on the white would have added a lot. The flight stand and base are not a strong point for me, also, while your rust looks amazing, looks like the engines are seized.

Just looks to me like a well painted wreck.

See my IG army is based off of the pre war US Army from the fallout series. I wanted to represent the remnants after the nuclear holocaust so all the equipment is meant to look very heavily weathered.

And whilst an airbrush would be a much better idea, I'm an apprentice and that kinda wage is not going to get me anywhere if I keep spending, I've got petrol and car insurance to pay for.

Wow this would look great with some usa inspired Elysian drop troops!
