Got this painted today let me know what you guys think of it!

I've got to be honest, I'm a tad bummed that we didn't get the scenic background your other models have had. It really added something special to the presentation of the models! Overall, the tank looks good; though I think it could use some definition. The brown looks a tad flat and kind of blends in with the muddied tracks. I think some highlighting or bare-metal weathering would add something to break it up and give it more depth. The tracks, I think, could also be brightened up a bit with another highlight. Overall, it looks good, but I feel like more could be done to make it better!

Hey thanks for the advice! I think I may do some hair spray weathering on the next one. Unfortunately I live in Washington and it when it rains here it rains the like the Apocalypse. I need a better camera too its very hard in the pictures to see all the rust I put on this model.

The painting is basic but good, but as was mentioned additional weathering could really make this shine. Modeling wise the gap in the seam of the barrel halves is a little let down. The heavy bolter barrels could be drilled out as well.

I like it. Effective colour scheme.

One thing with the transfers, they look shiny on the pics. One thing you can do to help with a seamless blend is to put a thin layer of gw gloss varnish down where the transfer will go, add the transfer, then when dry and you have padded it down with a cloth (make sure there are no bubbles), add several thin layers of lahmian medium. This will help stop the shin showing .

I would also say a bit of weathering too. with a sponge adding chips to the areas that would be chipped. But its your call.

microsol is really good for transfers, it kind of melts the transfer away leaving just the ink, transfers end up looking painted on, but really good

along with what's been mentioned(drill barrels, transfer, green stuff on the cannon barrel), the tank looks too plain, there is absolutely no accessory at all..I can't see the top hatch, but I suspect that its missing a handle bar.

I like the camo but i'm abit confused.. the exhausts looks pretty well weathered, but the rest of the tank looks like it just came out of the productionline. :/ it's especially noticable at the rear where most of the mud/dust would end up.

but other than that i like it the wepons looks great

Hey thanks for the advice on the transfers! I don't normally put them on I will defiantly try that next time! This tank was a expierment with typhus corrision and Ryza Rust. Normally I weather my tanks with forge world powders. I think the next one I will be doing will get some hair spray weathering.
