ok well here is a small update of my red stompa... can someone give me some idea on where i can add more like yellow? (or another color but preferebly not) and like i can do any of the checks, flames, arrows, etc. thoughts and comments?

I think you should off colour some of the panels of the body, gives a more cobbled together feel.

I agree with jabba. Enough yellow and red not enough brass, bronze and silver.
or whatever the hell is used in the year 40,000

Yeah just paint some random panels on the stompa yellow.

From the images the arms just look a tad bit too red, especially that chainsaw arm. Perhaps make some of the mechanical bits just a standard metal color (boltgun?). I get the same impression with the gun arm. It looks as if the Orks just slopped some red paint over everything all willy nilly, which from a fluff perspective probably makes sense. But it just looks too red to me. Even the teeth on the chainsaw look like they were painted red (doesn't look like blood either!)

Paint a single armour panel somewhere as if it was salvaged from your favourite opponents tanks. And I agree with the "more metal"-statements. Maybe make some rusty iron plates. They will go in another red/orange tone so add some variety while keeping the go-fasta-red-feeling.

hmmm ok will do. i definitally agree with thee weapons being too red. and ill try and paint some random plates different color...

ok sooo i didnt have time to paint tonight but was thinking... for the weapons just add alot more color like preferebly a boltgun metal with a wash of badab black to make it a really dark metal then just add rust everywhere. and for the pannels im thinking of making some of the plates a more metal look to them. i was also thinking of drawling a big evil sun symbol with the belly gun comming out of mouth... do those sound like good ideaz? also i need more ideas... its still kinda dull and boring!

For the Evil Sun symbol-If you cut new plating to make it, and paint the plates entirely -or- if you just want to paint it on, the lines can't be too good, you want a spray painted look to it.

so make it like the flames i already have on it? also i think i mite spray my third stompa today and start work on it... will post pics tonight! do you have any other ideas i can use on the red stompa jabba?

I can picture it in my head.... 2 happy red stompas running through the lush green flower field.... holding hands....

oh so happy a la la la la~

rofl... i more like a space marine company minding thier business when an "earthquake" erupts and all they hear is a giant WAAAAGH while getting shot up by 3 super gatlers. and some 18" blast radius shots.... > to then realize theyre a big giant robot with a giant saw about to crumble whats left.... so much for the emperor being with them...

ok well i didnt have time to paint anything last nite but im definatly going to tonight.... anymore suggestions before i do?
