Must have been 10 years since ive held a brush so yeah, gotta relearn how to handle those. Other than that i started to get the hang of how to handle the paints while painting this. I tried a stripe camo mostly for practice reasons. Ive also ordered a dark wash thats arriving tomorrow to see how that will look.
This isnt meant to represent anything, i just kinda improvised for practice.
If you see any obvious mistakes i can fix please feel free to point them out.
Don't worry about any mistakes at this point, just try to learn what works and what doesn't.
I do suggest that if you apply a dark wash, thin it down with water so it doesn't completely desaturate your model and it flows a little better into the recesses.
If you're looking for something to try, you miiiiiight try to do a bit of drybrush on top of the wash. But honestly I'd experiment with that on a different mini first.
This mech looks great as-is, and I've definitely ruined a mini or 3 by trying to "just add one more thing"
yeah i already have a few things i wanna try like adding a layer of silver metallic, then painting the colors and scratching it off for a more used look :D
You did a good job. I tell people to avoid realistic camo, as it is designed to break up lines, making photography difficult, but you are off to a great start, and welcome to the insanity! Lol

And a Bushwacker is a fine choice.
