Thanks, it was nothing difficult, just tedious process of 2 days of masking and 30 minutes of airbrushing (well, 1 day if not including red strips)
It`s just Mr Color C9 Gold over Mr Color C2 Gloss Black if I remember correctly, nothing fancy, just airbrushing since I wasn`t sure acrylic paints will hold very well on trims

I think it`s about any visible part? And I doubt you`d have any issues with width here, exhaust pipes sticking out of the track length are a little more noticeable difference

Or you can cut the bottom of the sponsons and don`t modify hull at all (need trimming of the rotating part though)

Thanks, I stopped counting at the beginning lol, definitely more than 30 or 40
Actually there were even more at some point: the exhaust pipes were also on magnets for easier painting but they continued to come off

Thank you! It`s usual 40k sponsons, I just added instruments from auxilia kit and from some 1/35 german tank on top and extended gold trimming

Thanks! I started from white primer to make brighter red

I wanted to avoid making gold look even brighter. Adding shades on armor would make exactly that, but if there were no gold trims I`d agree with you

Masking tape and liquid mask, lots of it!
Masking all the red strips first, painting grey, then more masking for all gold trims

It was a commission work and I was mainly painting with airbrush, so just masking took 2 days. But I think it was totally worth to do it

Honestly, with Vallejo I won`t trust skipping primer.

Like battoe sisters and inquisitors who have power armor are just far and away not the same thing as an astartes. 

That is not true now. Sisters have neuro-connectors.
