First off I'd like to say that I absolutely love this model- it's quality is top notch, everything fits together perfectly and it's just plain awesome looking. If ever there was a perfect example for plastic being superior to finecast in practically every way this is it.

And here it is:


All props go to an awesome guy named Oren Dotan from the local miniature store/gaming club- he did all the paining, I merely separated the model from the sprues, cleaned and glued it.

He's also working on the Tessaract Vault, my Tomb Stalker, my C'tan Shard and a whole bunch of my Scarab bases (basically anything I felt was beyond my skills to paint properly and that he showed interest in painting himself ), so hopefully I'll be able to show them off as well in the coming weeks.

P.S: I do paint most of my own models, though not anywhere near as well as he does.

He looks very good Galorian, your friend did a great job painting the skin colour. Or energy colour, never quite sure with those tricksy C'tan. ^^ If I didn't allready have an old metal Nightbringer, I'd nick one of these gentlemen of ebay.
One thing I think might have made the paintjob even greater would have been choosing a bolder colour for the collar. It blends into the body atm, a bit more of the gold might have given it a more distinct look. Though that's just my opinion, still a great looking paintjob!

There are miniature stores in Israel? I couldn't find one when I was there. Anyway, top notch model.

Aye, it's called Romah (hebrew for Lance) and is located in Kfar Saba. It's relatively new though (only been around a few years), but I think they're doing quite well.

Note that I edited in the name of the guy who painted the model for me, as he prefers that his name be praised far and wide.

looks like you used an airbrush and put it to good work. Very smooth look, like it's wet putty, looks sweet.

Oooh nice soft blending! Are you building that huge thing he goes in (I forget what it's called)

An airbrush was indeed used, but as I've noted in the original post I fear I cannot take credit for the work- that honor goes to another.

Yes, the Tessaract Vault is also in the works in the skilled hands of the same guy who painted the C'tan.
