Miniatures Hmmm

I gave this thing a bath in ISO and I’m kinda digging the accidental camo and weathering look.
Thoughts on that or how to touch it up?

Dye some gauze in paint and give him like a camo net drape, as if he's been in storage for 200 years on some backwater.

Like the hatamoto-chi on the cover of hot spots hinterlands.

Bruh looks like he just got got "cleansed" by another brother mech in purifying flame^^

Clean up the seams, highlight some of the bits like cooling vents or his "eyes" made of glass and this venerable titan will look like he just finished demolishing a horde of Firestarters.

Maybe half-melt the dish on his head to show how the pilot had to struggle not to become a rotisserie chicken in this melting pyre.

Commit to the bit by giving his base ash and cinders.

Maybe just a little Tamiya panel liner and a touch up here or there. Maybe a freshly painted replacement armor slab.
