Imperial Fists: Marine with Multi-melta

I am seeking comments and harsh critique! How I painted the yellow armour: 1. White primer. 2. Watered down Golden Yellow. Very transluscent layer. 3. Gryphonne Sepia wash. 4. Layers of more and more bright yellow glazes, avoiding recesses, from Golden Yellow, through Sunburst Yellow, mixing more and more white into the yellow, and lastly a 50/50 mix of Sunburst and Bleached Bone. Keep the middle of armour-plates darker. Or: 4b. Alternatively (faster): 2 layers of quite heavily watered down Golden Yellow. 2 layers of quite heavily watered down Sunburst yellow. 2 layers of Glaze of Golden Yellow on the middle of "plates", to create a highlight "the-other-way-around", darkening the middle. I try to make the transition from Golden to Sunburst yellow as invisible as possible. Lastly, highlight a bit with 50/50 Sunburst and Bleached Bone. 5. Use the Gryphonne Sepia wash to carefully recreate lines between armour-plates, that you've accidentaly covered with yellow madness. 6. Use appropriate yellow to carefully recreate areas, that you've accidentaly covered with Gryphonne Sepia. 7. Use the Gryphonne Sepia wash to carefully recreate lines between armour-plates, that you've accidentaly covered with yellow. 8. And so on...

If you want critics or comments about your painting techniques, you should post a picture of the miniature with neutral, white background, for the best results taken in a photobox. But it seems nice!
