I had tons of fun painting this NW. I missed some flashing, still (Grrrr) and noticed I did the same on a bunch of other I put together and primed. I need to be more careful! I still have a lot to learn.

Any feedback is welcomed!

looks awesome man. if that's the gw base crackle paint thing. give it a good sealing coat or it all flakes away.

get some angry green glow on them eyes really tie the colours together

Thanks!!

I was wondering about that. Thanks for the tip.

Nice work, I personally paint the rim of the base black, make the desert stuff stand out a bit more?

Good solid paint job .... well done !

Thanks!

That's a good idea about painting the rim black. I'm totally new to this, so am still learning. I have a lot to learn! Thanks!

I've found the best paint for this effect is Moot Green followed by a glaze of Waywatcher Green

Yeah, green eyes would perfect it. Great job though, especially the gun barrel, that's awesome!

Particularity like the OSL on the base! Nice.

The metallic surfaces look a but bumpy, particularly on the forehead. You can minimize this by doing the following:
Use a spray-on primer if you aren't already.
Water down the metallic paints on your pallet before applying them. You only need to add a tiny bit of water on the end of your brush to mix into your paint, it should then glide onto the model nice and smooth. You know you've added too much water when you start seeing bubbles in the paint.
Give it a go, you're looking good
