Hi guys,

I'm new to DakkaDakka but I've been painting models for the last couple of years or so. I've been concentrating on vehicles/walkers and the like for a couple of different gaming systems with a relatively heavy bias towards 40K. As you'll see I'm now leaning towards the smaller scale stuff like Dropzone Commander and in the future possibly Flames of War too. In the meantime, hope you like the pics!

Tau Riptide

PHR Neptune Dropships

PHR Hades Super-Heavy Walker

**Paradigm**

Great stuff and great style. Welcome to Dakka!

**sockwithaticket**

That Riptide looks very realistic and genuinely intimidating.

**DarkMistro**

Them models look really well painted

**hurtmypony**

Yes, well done. Love your style.

**Ronnnnnnnnnn**

Fabulous paintings! Really like your style.

**theunrealisticartist**

Thanks everyone!

I'm working on a Storm raven at the moment. Hopefully be in a position to put some pics up at the end of the week.

**Rusty Robot**

Fantastic stuff here. Smooth, clean and crisp paintjob with great, subtle weathering. Really adds a lot of weight to the models. Bravo!

**theunrealisticartist**

Kind words, cheers Rusty!

**AesSedai**

Riptide weathering is really well done.

**theunrealisticartist**

Thanks AesSedal! The work in your Gallery is awesome!

**Squidbot**

Stunning. Had a look on your site, I want that dakka jet!

**Million**

So good it makes me want to swear - that riptide is with ease the best i've seen. I love how lifelike it is. The weathering is spot on, just enough presence, subtle, not OTT.

**theunrealisticartist**

Cheers Squidbot, that Bommer was my first vehicle and I really went to town on it with the weathering. I sold it in the end but I've still got a soft spot for it… <sniff>

@ Million - thanks mate, much appreciated. The Riptide is my latest and I've got a bit more restraint where the weathering is concerned. A little goes a long way…

...unless it's Orky. Then it's totally justified to go mental with the 'rust sponge' : )

**anticitizen013**

I am not exaggerating when I say that is easily the best Riptide I have seen. Very impressive. How did you do the armour (I realise that is generally the whole model, haha).

**spincr**

Insanely intimidating stuff here! Love the hades scorpotank!
