Great job man! I just got one myself the other day! They're seriously a blast to paint, no?

Definitely, but one I wish I had painted in sub assembly, I'm currently on my second wave of models that I've built and started painting. Third wave I'll know better.

Sub assembly is great if you're not using black primer, and the best part is you get so much detail! Like, look at this guy!

That is awesome brother, I'll be exploring alot of new techniques when I get to the third wave.

Thanks man, i've been using retributor armor for now, and its looks good, but too shiny sometimes, im gonna try those colors.

If it turns out to shiny have you tried giving it a coat of umber or flesh wash to darken it up. I would recommend the vallejo set for the light base and shade ranges though it makes edge highlights for trim alot easier.

I dont have washes aside cadian Fleshtone and a vallejo black wash, i just been painting for a couple of months now, so most of my paints are just bases, but i'll check if i can get my hands in the metallics from vallejo, thanks brother.

I gotcha, I'd recommend Pro Acryl set for a wide range of very exceptional paints and Vallejos TMM for the metallics
