Ok some little bits of photos to show off my lack of photography skills and the limitations of my equipment:

(brace yourselves

)

I decided to forgo the elaborate and scenic display bases for two reason, number one this model was going to be used for part of my army and number two im rubbish and making decent bases, but im slowly learning patience on that front.

Comments and criticisms welcome

hard to comment on the AOW model. It feels very far away. I assume that you nmm the steel on the weapons though, if you did I would love to know what the recipe was.

Will get some close ups later tonight for you ^^

@ Neo, yes the whole lot was done in NMM and all i did was use a foundation grey with black ink mix and work my way up to pure foundation grey, then i added some fortress grey and then some enchanted blue and highlighted that up with white but i didn't go to pure white as i felt that might have been a bit too much. My usual technique for NMM grey now, but i need to add more colours to it to give it a more dynamic contrast i think. Maybe adding some purple for the darkest shades might work well.

@ Nameless, you can do it !

will you enter anything in? i think you should try at least

@ Demi, thanks but you should show us your Cryx force im sure that looks rather impressive

.

Well for something completely different, i've been working on a smartmax model i picked up at Salute09. I really like their quality models they are nice but in hindsight i think i should have used grey or white primer rather then black but it does add to the darker feel of the model. Anyway have a quick lookie
