Went into my mecha modeling bag o'tricks for some things on this one, particularly with the oil filter I applied over all of the armor parts when I was nearly done. Some of the weathering came out a bit more intense than I wanted, so it needed to be knocked back, and the filter did just that. I'm still not happy with the pauldrons and some other things, but I'm calling this one finished. I think the issue really was the round shapes of most of the armor - I usually do this sort of weathering on Gundam and Zoids kits where there are lots of sharp edges to do chipping on. Here it was kind of hard to figure out what to do.

Anyway, more pics in my gallery if you want to see 'em.

Looks great. I hate summer colours like orange etc, but if you love them is all that matters.I think looks good/average for a knight and if you magnitised makes it even better.

IDK was fist but I think you have done a bang up job (I personally don't like the colours), but the application looks great.

Oh, I'd never use orange by itself, but I do like complimentary color schemes - this all started with the Ironstrider in the middle, and I knew I wanted blue as the main color, so orange was just kind of the obvious choice as the second one. It's kind of... more prominent on the knight, though. This probably sounds dumb, but that did kind of surprise me. I like it, but it's definitely a lot of orange.

Excellent job. I like it.

It gives the impression of a long life fighting.

Very Nice.

I think it looks great!

mind you i love orange.
