Chimera WIP

[Angel Of Death]

Hey guys

I know this is my first post here but i\'ve been browsing the forums here for quite a while and have finally summoned enough courage to post some pictures so here they are

Its mostly finished, still need to paint the lasguns, flamer, and the side hatches, and i\'m still tossing over whether to highlight the whole tank up further.

By the way, just for the record, im 15 from Melbourne, Australia.

Comments and CC are welcome!

Cheers, Jake

Well the actual paintjob is quite authentic-looking, but the battle damage seems to bright and shiny and rather randomly placed...

What I mean is, damage and wear tends to occur in areas of high use and/or areas which are likely to receive most incoming fire, however the areas where you have placed battle damage seems rather random - which, with the surrounding areas relatively pristine, looks somewhat out of place...

Am I making sense ???
Looks good otherwise though.

aye makes sense

have a look at weathered vehicles. generally you get grime build up in the recesses and chipping and wear on the edges. of course there will be random battle damage from bullets etc wherever they land but normal weathering has a pattern to it
