Nice and neatly painted, smoothe blends with some really nice weathering too. The camouflage looks really good and probably alot of effort went into that in itself. Great stuff :D my only criticism is that some of the grey NMM looks more like stone than metal as there is too much base colour and not enough shadows and light highlights or even the introduction of other colours will give an effect of metals.

Thanks, A. NMM is not one of my 'specialist' techniques I'm afraid but I suspect you mainly mean the grey armour which is not meant to be metal but maybe some type of ceramic and either produced in a particular colour or painted. The only metal areas are the belt buckle and the sword base (the blade is again ceramic or some such). Difficult to get these ideas over in a mini - I need to write a long explanation with each one, haha.

I like the way you weathered the vehicle, looks very good. small paint chips and a bit of dust, not too much. Nice work :)

tok me a lot of time to coment this ..
as i have no idea how to improve your tech - you actualy master one of types of painting in wich you specialize end .. well ther is nothing i can teach a master .

But hopefuly - Blade it look like failed experiment :) - wich mean you dont know how to utilize other tech - so my Idea - ty difrent tech - nex time meybe high contrast on mini ?? as NMM blades are made on that tech - so you mey try somthing new ^-^

Thanks, Maru - I am quite happy with my tech but you're right about the blade. i will repaint it but NMM :banghead: is a weak area of mine! Lots more practise needed (or a return to metallics! :doh: )
