A.F.S. MkII ARMORED FIGHTING SUIT Love it! :thumbsup Looking forward to the paint too! :popcorn M

Thanks, Duke Maddog! I wanted to do something different and found inspiration from one of those funky Luft 46 schemes. I'm happy with the way it turned out. M

Thanks Swordsman, glad you like it. Detailing is one of my favorite aspects of modeling and reading Shep Paine's book on dios I just found out how I could have used railroad modeling stuff to add even more detail to the engine. Oh well, next time... :blink: M

Thank you all for the positive feedback and kind words. I always wanted to try my hand at an "organic camo" and I think I'll do more in the future. M

Got my attention. :popcorn M

Thanks guys! MP, yes I do have fun...er...my index finger is still hurting like hell! :ohmy: M

Yeah Orks, the underrated engineers of the universe! :drool M

Lots of diamond shapes. Is this ork stealth? :yipee M

Yeah, go for it. You can use the sponge to apply masking medium on the metallic undercoat and then spray the topcoat, as I do here, but you can also use it to apply the metal paint direct on the camo. That's less fuss and works as well, especially in smaller scales. In larger scales the masking...

Thank you, all! Warren, I always apply liquid masking stuff with a sponge. It gives the best 'random' look, in my experience. M

I got some preliminary steps done before laying down the camo. First a metallic undercoat in view of the chipping effect in strategic areas: where pilot and maintenance crew step, along panel edges and especially on the antigrav pods which double as emergency landing gear. :bgrin Next...

Thanks Warren! M

Thanks everyone! M
