The highlighting has been mentioned, but if you really want it to start 'popping' experiment with rank/unit markings. Simple example: Run a yellow (warning, yellow sucks to paint - just do several light thin coats) stripe vertically down his head, off center. Make sure to continue the stripe down the front of the lip but stop before you get into the housing with the eyes/lenses. Next, paint the lowest leg panel on the right thigh yellow also.

This has a pretty drastic effect on crisis suits, and is well worth it - plus, if you hate it, it's usually easy to paint over because you're talking about small areas.

You look like you're going to have a rather good time painting from the start, so I'll also offer the first non-painting item that jumps out at you - you need to get some files to remove the bumps where things were on sprues. Look around a you can get several for really cheap - types don't really matter all that much right now, your main requirements are just the small, flat normal one right now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/291673/1523844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/291673/1523844.page GMT Re:First tau modal

Okay, painted the base, haven't done the yellow yet since I'm still trying to decide what I want it to look like and were on the head and leg to put it.

The mesh bases look great! Dont be afraid to get a little 3d with your bases. Maybe add in a small railing or control panel to really let us know where they are?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/291673/1525677.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/291673/1525677.page GMT First tau modal
