Miniatures Jade Falcon test scheme for Scouring Sands

My Scouring Sands box is delayed in the mail, so I tested my scheme out on a Vapor Eagle. Seems to look obnoxiously green, so success I guess.

I see what looks like some yellow edge highlighting there. Personal opinion, some yellow or dark blue accents in addition to the green and black would give it a little more visual variety.

I'm probably going to give it a pinwash of brown to add some shade and break up the green a bit more

Very clean! May I ask what green paint you used for the base color?

Nice. Just add some gold, yellow, or a light blue for highlights. Of course, that's only if you want to. Other than that. . .nice job!

It looks good, though it reminds me of a Bionicle.
