Wow, awesome painting and what a great miniature, where is it from?

 

[Avelorn]

Shawn sculpted it for Armorcast, so I\'m pretty sure he\'ll like your comment Dominus!

No way! It\'s a truly epic model, I HAVE to get one... as soon as I\'ve finished up my current projects.
The steam buddah is truly awesome as well, I\'ve just added two more items on my \"minis to do before I die\" list

This was one of the best honest but hilarious replies to a question I\'ve ever seen on an internet forum.

You win sir. You win.

Oh and that model is freaking amazing. The painting isn\'t bad either (as in OMFG IT\'S AMAZING TOO)

I have to seconded the SEMM comment. Looks a little to clean and bright against the rest of the body. Maybe a little grease and oil on the hydraulics?
Look the model and really going to have to find the cash to get it one of these days.

Thanx much. Good suggestion. This fellow will keep me busy for quite a while.

Looking good Shaun! I personally hate painting machinery and mechanisms so respect for your effects!

 

[DaGreatQueeg]

Very cool matey - gonna have to see if I can get the budget strings loosened to get one of these .......

 

[freakinacage]

good stuff shawn, nice photo-flow diagram btw!

 

[GreenOne]

Nice to see some paint on that beast, keep it up

 

[ScottRadom]

Top notch! Looking amazing and the SENMM is ridiculously good.

 

[Shawn R. L.]

I was simply, creatively exhausted after the sculpt that I has taken a while to charge the batteries up again but I think I\'m back. Actually enjoying it albeit a bit at a time...this bad boy is a lot of work to paint - but worth it!!

 

[Shawn R. L.]

Slowly but surely he\'s coming together. Having fun though. I waited long enough to get to the painting stage!!

you like your black backgrounds, is it a card or \"photoshoped\"?

I like the more dramatic look of a black background. I used a piece of black velvet and small halogen spot lights.

I think I have a black backdrop that came with my light tent, might give it a try and see how it comes out
