I think what really hits this model home for me, outside of the brilliant paint job, is the awesome, dynamic posing.

I like it. That gun looks BOSS in the colour scheme you have chosen.

That's awesome! You should name him KC. Or Chief.



Resemblance to pro football uniforms aside (which is hardly a bad thing, by the way, I think it looks awesome!) this is a great model. I really, really love the dynamic pose. He looks distinctly shoulder-tackle-y. Great work!

(And as a side note, it was unbelievably hard to find a picture of a Chiefs uniform, from the side, that I could get to work on a forum.)

I think that the hardest colours to paint well (in order) are:

White
Yellow
Black
Orange
[others]

In particular, it's tough to make white and black look good on smooth, angular models, as the highlighting is frankly a female dog.

You have used three of the four hardest colours, in a model almost tailor-made to NOT use two of them...

And made it truly badass.

Kudos.

Excellent work. Really eye catching--can't wait for more!

Might be tough on FWs though..

I went through three schemes before finding this one. You'll probably find one just as good.
