Mdlbuildr's WIP

Well it turned out great, and has definately got that rotted feel to it.
If you don’t mind me adding, just a little something to think about is instead of mixing your wash colours together you could have laid them down individually over the top of each other to accomplish the same colour. By doing it this way you could adjust the tones in different places, eg a bit more blue in the deeper shades, a little less in lighter recesses etc.
If you were to apply it like this you would want to thin down the washes (lahmian medium and/or water) quite a bit and apply in many layers, a bit of blue here, red here etc and can even experiment with other colours to provide some really effective tonal contrast too... just concentrating on individual recesses etc and not wash the entire area. Using thinned washes will help with a smooth blend into the shadows too..

dont get me wrong what what your doing is great, and if your comfortable with that then keep on doing it, just thought I would add this as it’s a little technique you may like to try at some point

anyways keep up the good work man... oh and I didn’t notice the chains in my first look, but now I do... they look brilliant :good:

Wow, I never thought to do that with the washes. I'll try it. That sounds like it maybe would have done what I was looking for a little bit better.

Thanks again for the kind words!

My poor Deathjack took a tumble and shattered beyond repair. I'm very sad. Gotta order another one. Was really looking forward to painting it. :disapointed:

oh no, thats terrible news. looks a cool model to paint. its my to do list as some point. looks very tricky to build though so haven't plucked up the courage. so I feel for you having to build it twice, Doom

Really nice work bud, on everything. From the reflective and shined armor to the wrack. Now go paint that jack. It’s one of my fav models from PP.!

It was really a pleasure to build. The parts did not need much clean up and it went together well.

Thank you, kind sir! As soon as I get the new one, I will get to it. Was seriously bummed yesterday when I saw it in pieces.

And we try again. Cryx Deathjack, primed with Stynlyrez Grey and Base Coated with Vallejo Air Black. I didn't prime black because the Stynylrez Black is much different and I keep a lot of the recess black.
