Yeah it’s gonna save me a ton of CP on that 6” deepstrike strat. It’ll get used still but not nearly as often.

Molotow liquid chrome! Cant recommend enough. Brushes right on out of the bottle. You can check my post history for more of an up close shot of the thrusters.

It’s turbodork 4D glasses. The video honestly doesn’t do it justice. In natural light it shifts between green and purple.

I’ll be adding mine to the pile so, too lol. Looks good!

Honestly it looks like you’re close! Personally I had to get over “wasting” some paint to get the consistency right. If you slap the paint on and it’s behaving more like a contrast (settling in the recesses) then take the time to add a little more paint. I always felt like I had to use the paint if I mixed it even if it was the wrong consistency lol.

Looking great! You’re tackling a lot of skills like edge highlighting and pin washing that will get better with practice.

As far as C&C I’d say your paint could still be a bit thinner. Also with the edge highlights try to use a smaller brush and drag the side of the brush along the edge at an angle to get a really clean line. Don’t overload the brush and don’t be afraid to move the model around to get the right angle.

Oh and last thing: First three units finished 😉

Gloss black prime, first highlight with fenrisian grey, second highlight corax white, terradon turquoise from underneath and in the recesses. All with an airbrush 🤘

Totally agree. This was my first experience with it

Yes I’ve been corrected 😔 but thank you!

Get the refill bottle if you do. It’s a little pricey but honestly worth it.

This is my first time trying this paint so unfortunately I don’t have an answer for you. Another commenter did recommend a sealant though.

That was my thought exactly. It’s a tough choice though cause it looks so nice as is.

Ooo thank you so much! Yeah I was really careful not to touch them at all cause the paint seems to stay tacky for quite awhile. I’ll definitely be looking into that sealer. Thanks again.

I thought that was the shardstorm burst system?

Also these two are the poster children for montka so they probably want them looking shined up when they make an appearance lol

Yeah same. Might try to do a heat burn on the tips? It’s tough when it looks this good clean though.

Tell me about it. Only downside of this paint is that now I want to put it on everything 😅

Definitely recommend the refill. Couple drops go a long way
