First, I'm just impressed that you thought to integrate the sculpt into the freehand by taking the teeth at the bottom and turning that into an ork skull. I would've never put that together...
With the liquid mask, couldn't you just skip a few of those steps? Seems like instead of painting the skull white, masking, then painting black and removing mask, you could draw the outline of the freehand, mask it and then paint the freehand white. The difference is you mask the parts of the freehand that will be damaged, instead of the undamaged parts like you did it, and of course you just paint it white instead of white then black.

Ty friends
yeah! it actually is ork power going on here now. long since i painted greens but really enjoy it now
ty mate. as for the masking, that would work too as you describes. I did it this way for a few reasons, problem is that when you used liquid mask you want as few layers as possible above it as you may A) accidentally remove some of the mask with the brush or B) too many layers make the mask hard to remove at places. and black/brown on white tend to require less layers above white than the opposite (Airbrush is ideal for this but i didnt bother for this little space.)

Hello folks!
finished the chassis of the 2nd grot tank, Chekkmate.
View attachment 38997
the cannon tower is 2/3rd painted too. im starting to feel the "regiment sickness" already though, the feeling of painting another one of these tank after this one is not that awesome, lol!
i really want to paint on the duel instead. agh!

that looks grand, doing a few of those to that standard - if i could paint to that standard - would break me - so good work, hope the regiment sickness does not win as its a worthy project.

In the Stryker infantry companies that I've always been a part of, we always get a tank platoon. That's three light tanks to support the approximately 150 infantry dudes rolling around in Infantry Fighter Vehicles. Anyway, it is tradition for each tank to have a name, and this name is always written along the length of the turret. The only rule is that the name must start with the letter of the company. A, B, and C companies normally. So three tanks in Bravo Company might be: Boomstick, Barely Legal, and Bullseye. I've heard that Ork tankers have the same tradition.
