Looks flawless to me, amazing smooth paint job

On the other hand, for my personal taste, he looks too clean, like just left the factory a minute ago, the varnish is not even dry on the new chassis. But that's just hairsplitting...

And many thanks for the info on the used colors!

that's what could be titled "enter the dragon"
2nd post and such valuable information... wow...

regarding the paintjob I must say it's a technically excellent job. smooth, contrasted, etc.
what is lacking for me is some darklining - it would really add a lot to this paintjob. besides it I can only say: do something much more creative than a terminator now. you're too good for them termies...

agree...

Looks great and thanks for work with the mixes. but hes he look to clean but is is almost a pity imagine that fine armor going in to battle and ending all banged up.

ther is nothing as cool as good post for beggining
ok checked your other works (2 of them on CMON ) - end ther is huge field to improve - bases - they stand out so much from your painting
end Termi- well not my taste but 100% technicly fine - now improve detailing end separation - end BASES end we got serious competicin painter

Very cool

Thx for the mini tutorial
Nice looking termi btw

Wow thank you all!

Bases are definately a point were I have to improve. I often lack motivation at the end when it comes to making a base for the miniature but with my next miniature I will try to build the base at the very beginning or at least somewhere in between maybe this will help me keep up the motivation 'till the very end.

Do what Szczurek_ does - start with bases ^^
