So you should be honesty one of my favourite Tyranid models.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

You definitely captured the style from the ear the model is from. Excellent work.

Why didn't you keep the cool retro green base color as the Carni?

still going to do overcoat repaint on the base.. the main model is finished but I am planning on adjusting the base the current coloring on base is also what I put on the hive tyranant and carni bases so that when the goblin green is applied it will appear the right shade.

Just finished a new proxy style model for my old school Tyranid army, since I don't have an original 2nd edition zonethrope I used this community made one painted up in old school style.

It took me a bit to figure out that he wasn't an older model. Good Work!
