Not my best, but I wanted to knock it out despite my hands shaking. Pretty simple color scheme, nothing special. Gave myself 10 minutes to finish the job from prime (with washes, not paint, to speed drying). I included picking colors in that timeframe.

This model was a gift to me from a friend who asked for some help in getting into 3D printing. I guided him and he has been very happy so he gave me this as a see, you were right. It has a few flaws, one bubble on the hand but is otherwise flawless.

Colors:

Hard Plates are done in VMC German Grey-70.995
Composites done in VMC Basalt Grey- 70.869
Highlights on Composites done in GW Administratum Grey
Undersuit was done in GW Karak Stone, Highlight in GW Flayed Flesh
Skin Tones were just the classic GW Triad: Bugman's, Cadian, Kislev
Hair was VMC Mahogany Brown-70.864, highlighted with a 30/70 VMC Mahogany Brown and VGC Filthy Brown, final was straight Filthy brown washed with cassandra yellow to redden it a bit more auburn.
Boots were just GW Rhinox Hide highlighted with a 50/50 of Rhinox and P3 Bloodstone (I was pulling some warmer tones for the boot highlights that reminded me of the dark brown boots that got all worn and torn when I was younger and they had a reddish tone to the scratches rather than tan).

Did paint the eyebrows but did not paint the eyes. Wanted to keep a high tech look so I went with a German Grey for the weapon and the only metallic is on the clearly metal parts on his back.

That’s an awesome sculp and a really clean print. Also great paint work, all round brilliant mini!

Oh yeah, forgot to add. Entire thing was painted with one brush. Some moderately crappy #3 from Hobby Lobby.

As time goes on I find I prefer larger brushes, #2 or #3s

Also added link to model file in order to give OE sculptor credit.

Excellent, and proof that there is a "good" visual and aesthetic out there for grimdustrial space dwarfs. I was actually shocked at how awful the GW Necromunda one looked. Even they don't take the stuff seriously.

Indeed. I can picture him with the same "tech-styled" but very dwarf-ish space-ancenstor mask helmet in his left hand. It would work. I'd frankly love to see more sculpts in this aesthetic. I'd paint them up in a heartbeat.
