    Thanks for the kind words and feedback peeps, much obliged!


    You're saying the execution is not done right, you mean on Kriza... yeah I was having a bit of trouble painting the exoskeleton suit with all
    the shallow texture on it, I prolly was on the heavy side with the brush.

    I think if you use a black wash it will fill in the cracks and solve the problem nicely.

    on the subject of these surfaces made of hexagons and sleeves like a vacuum cleaner pipe. first, I would paint brightenings and shadows, not applying myself to a careful passage between the colors, then I would paint a black slit.the presence of these gaps and the breaking of the spaces into small elements will mask not very smooth transitions between shades. if you are in a hurry try the line accent color panel from tamiya. unfortunately it is a bit shiny so you have to cover it with matt varnish.You have done a great job painting these nomads.

    I've looked at your work once again and I think you're too good for cheap tricks like the panel line tamiya!

    Thanks for the suggestions guys and feedback. Looking back at that exosuit and I gotta say it isn't one of my best work.
    That texture surface is a bit tricky to do. Maybe some kind of a wash but I was never a big fan of washes, every time
    I washed something I wasn't satisfied with the result, but highlighting every little hexagon is really slow.

    Thanks you two. Everything is done with a hairy brush except for priming which is spray can.

    Splendid miniatures. Crisp details and very smooth colour trasistiosns and orange/red is always tricky to paint.
    Personally I'd change that lemon yellow on Grenzer though but there's no accounting for taste as they say.

    Thank you, mate!
    Yeah, your're right I don't like it either. I will repaint grenzer's helmet to white. At that time my scheme wasn't set in stone and
    honestly I didn't know how to paint yellow properly. The yellow is a trade mark for Tunguska. Spektr will get yellow shoulders like Interventors and Kriza have.
