Hope you will like that high contrast painting

I’m not a fan of the style, but you executed it quite well. Lovely tones of color.

My one issue is that it’s very monotonous, which is an overall problem with space marines in general. Could have used a little more accent color somewhere IMHO. Not sure where though.

Again, nice work!

I like it alot. I've been trying to work out how to tackle my crimson fist stormtalon, and I think you have given me a few ideas. Cheers.

IMO the exaggerated shading of the hull doesn't go well with the flat and realistic metal parts. Pick one style and use it for the whole model.

I like the final effect, looks really good This model is my next "musthave"

Beautiful colour but i'm distracted by the ultra marine symbol on the nose, is it just me or is it crooked

Fantastic

I really like what you've done here, but the base is a little too dark for me, looks pretty good tho. Also, since you've got a relatively dark model, the White canopy is too bright and is quite distracting.

Other than that, love it!

Agree with SixT4Pixels about the dark tone -A spot of red there and you would have a crimson fist aircraft

All in all though, the model looks great. A bit monotone, but that and the dark tone give it kind of a sneaky stealth feel that would fit nicely with the theme of the flyer.

Only problem is the sad base. It looks like you took about 2 minutets to put it together and paint, and it makes the monotone look of the flyer come out as lazy and rushed rather than part of a concept.

I like it overall, but there are a few issues:

- The most glaring one is that you put the rear wing backwards. The flaps are supposed to be rear facing.

- For such a well painted model, the base needs some sprucing up.

- The model is very well painted but those highlights are generally placed where there is light and reflections from that light. No doubt it looks amazing, but where is the light source coming from?

That is some great highlighting on the edges and the color reminds me of the ocean.

I want to see it based on a water base now, were it would almost be camouflaged from above.

I really like it.

Wow I just noticed issue with rear wings, it doesn't have anything common with aerodynamics but now it look better IMO.

As a camouflage it would look great, you're right but would be to monotonous :(

I am not a huge fan of bases with tons of details especially on TT+ models, IMO that distract from the model... but not at all cases I used to make hyper-contrast lava bases on chaos models.

Painted from custom made template using decal sheet so I thinks it's correct

True, great model!

I like to mix realistic looking/weathered parts with unrealistic shading like that:

Very well executed shading mate , well done. As for everyone saying it looks odd or weird, I look forward to their better submissions of this model

Striking and well done.
