    @lefrank is the guy who uses a really sophisticated techniques to choose color schemes (he has written me a nice PM with all the info in. Maybe he can make it public for everyone!). I am more chaotic and do this while painting a Miniature. Usually I pick a main color and then go along with the flow. This time I said to myself...violet...pink...difficult to paint...lets do this! and here I am.

    Can we get step-by-step for violet on your Tunguska? Really like it, was thinking about violet for nomads and your colour is so cool that i want to steal it :D

    its hard to say this how to "step by step", because I don't paint step by step. I paint here and there a little bit, observe the result, tweak it a bit or not. The pink is first airbrushed with different colors and then i glaze again different colors on it, depending on what still needs to be done. Most of those steps are almost invisible so I cannot take photos of it. My best advice would be to get a good inspiration and then just paint until you achieve the result, this is how I taught myself how to blend and paint basically.

    I wasn't too keen on original Candy paint job but damn, your version is gorgeous. One could say it's an eye candy (I'll see myself out)

    Of Course I will, but I just moved to a new apartment, so I have to unpack my stuff before I translate the text. And I still have to wait for a new internet connection. Perhaps I open a specialized thread on developing color schemes.

    So the heckler is also finished. I cooked up the hex pattern on his helm to make most of the boring plain surface.

    Now thats a clean painted heckler. So much detail! Mindblowing! That red bar on the gun even has a tiny tiny black border. Love it.
    But why do they remind me of a certain soccer player? :thinking_face:
