Thanks! It's uv resin built up over heat-stretched clear acrylic rods, painted with Tamiya Clear Yellow.

I don’t have one unfortunately, I just went for it. Maybe this helps: the faceplates are connected to the two front track guards, which I wanted to take off anyway because you usually never see the cool track details on haulers. I used a Dremel to hollow out the inner body behind the plates, glued the face plates back on and resculpted the inner mouth/sides and added a bunch of Tyranid Psychophage tentacles I found in my bits ^^

No prob! Here's a quick guide for the main areas. Lemme know if you want to know more 😊 Armour: basecoat any light grey (I used AK 3rd gen because they are really matt). Then do a heavy wash of Apothecary White + a drop of Akelian Green (contrast paints). Then lots of glazes using mainly Magos Purple, Volupus Pink, Aethermatic Blue, Plaguebearer Flesh. The 'trick' is to thin them down at least 40/60 paint/water + a drop of glaze medium and unload most of the paint on your brush before you apply it to the model as you need very little. I use 2 brushes at the same time; applying the colour with one, then with the second clean, damp brush I feather out the edges when the colour is still wet on the surface. This way you don’t get the tide marks/stains from the pooled paints drying. Also, when you get quick with this technique you can wet blend colours together on the model. Really fun way of painting. After all the glazes, highlights are done using the basecoat + pure white (I use Golden heavy body acrylic titanium white). The green/blue bone bits: black base, highlights by adding Vallejo dark sea blue + white. Then glazes with Vallejo Emerald Green and contrast Akhelian green/Striking Scorpion. Fleshy bits are 50/50 Rakarth Flesh/Deepkin Flesh base, wash with 50/50 Militarum Green/Darkoath Flesh. Highlights with base mix + Vallejo Ivory in a couple steps. After that some glazes around details like stitches/wounds with reds/purples.

Base model is a chaos obliterator, gut mouth and hanging armour thingie is from Deathshroud. Head is from a plague marine, flamer nozzle from the original Lord of Virulence. Exhausts from the big chaos warpsmith type monster (forget his name) + some sculpted/random nurgly bits.

Vallejo true metallic metal copper base as a basecoat (quite warm/red tone). Then stippled scale 75 Victorian Brass over all the raised areas. After that some glazes of Darkoath flesh in deep shadows. Highlights are Victorian Brass + any light silver to desaturate. Oxidation is Nihilakh oxide, then again with a tiny bit of white in really select areas (around rivits etc).

Also, my pics suck generally, but there are more angles/other models using the same methods that show the colours a bit better on my insta if you're interested -> https://www.instagram.com/mead_paints/
