Hey CroWar, thanks for the feedback, yeah, I felt it was underdone myself but the client wanted it super shiney and new, there are variations in the metal colours but my crappy camera has washed it out. BTW big fan of your work :-)
I would give a 10/10 if the model had some work on it except the free hand. I give it a 8 now only because of the free hand work on the flames, but all the rest is not really impressive in my opinion. The model looks plastic and that's what I always try to avoid when painting, needs more work on the steel and details. But anyhow the flames are EPIC!
