First vehicle for my Raptors!

**Necroagogo**

Breathtaking - beautifully well done and full of lovely details.

I've not seen airbrush OSL done so well before. Bravo.

Did you mask off the top and front of the headlight units when you did it? If so, bonus points for properly planning it. Most don't.

I believe flabbergasted is the word. I am a little ashamed of my work now.

Well done sir.

How long did this take you? If you don’t mind me asking.

I think you'd done the OSL incorrectly. I've been on the internet. I've seen things. The proper application is to spray the entire area surrounding the lamp...outside of its housing, etc. with a bright colour...and then repeat in expanding circles till it lights EVERYTHING.

Please go back and fix it.

Don't know if you spotted this but someone has defaced a perfectly good Death Guard predator with stupid Imperium iconography.

**Neronoxx**

Gorgeous.

**Ubl1k**

This is inspirational

**LutherMax**

Thank you very much for all the comments, much appreciated!

As to the OSL, I'm glad you like it (if I read between the lines correctly

). Funny thing is it's really quite quick and easy to achieve this effect. I think I'll do a tutorial on my blog next time – I have four more Rhino-chassis vehicles built and waiting for paint!

**CREEEEEEEEED**

I'd ask if you do commissions but anything you did would stick out like a sore, beautiful thumb next to my stuff.

**Soul Samurai**

Great job, love the weathering and the OSL. Also that block of text that conforms to the contours of the tank looks great.

Couldn't agree more.

Honestly, OSL used to be very impressive to see but there are lot's of poorly-executed examples now that I've kinda gone off it. Seeing it done so well here is brilliant to see and reminds me why it is such a good technique - when done properly. Great work all over - the details and weathering are terrific. Lot's of talent on display here - be proud!

**Ratius**

Superb work! That OSL!

**LutherMax**

Thank you for the comments – I am humbled!

**Paradigm**

To join the echo, top notch work! I've come to expect this quality from you, but this is superb even by your own high standards!

**Zid**

Spectacular. All there is to say

**Cosmic**

Blimey, that's a stunner right there, Luther!

Phenomenal paint job and weathering

**LutherMax**

Thanks again for the comments - lots more to come in this army!

**Kallemann**

Super sweet. How did you do the lettering on the front side panels? Looks fantastic

**insaniak**

Wow, that is lovely. The weathering on the rear hatch is brilliant.
