nice work m8

ive never painted camo patterns before so i just based my pattern on spats spataflage. kinda made things easier for me. i will probably paint over my armour 1 day with a proper camo pattern or ill get some1 to do it for me, some1 with more experience...like you perhaps :roll:

only kidding m8

thanks for all the kind words guys! ive been working all day on getting the back and shoulder pieces painted (the varnish is drying as we speak). am VERY happy with how its turned out and cant wait to show u some pics.

JediFraz im using the correct humbrol paints apart from the blue/green which to me was waaaay too blue. so im using revell 42 for the green. and gamesworkshop acrylics for the graffiti.

pics very soon!! mwahahaha!
