    Great work!

    How did you do the orange? Whenever I try to paint my I always get something that's too orange or too yellow.

    Sorry that it took so long to answer! And thanks for your kind words.
    Most of my receipes are from the official color scheme with a little variance here and there.

    Gracias! Feliz de que te gusten. Y lamento haber tardado tanto en responder. El negro se compone así:

    I'm sorry, I cant remember how I did them exactly, but usually I use 72.147 Heavy Black Green 50/50 with 309 Periscopes. That green is then mixed with 70.845 Sunny Skin tone for the highlights.

    The Invincible Army is marching fast and the only known doctor is the Zhanshi Yīshēng. Glad I could finish her in early november 2018.
    And yes, I already fixed the glue gaps on the base. ;-)

    Y sí, ya he fijado los huecos de pegamento en la base. ;-)

    Hope she serves you well in the future matches she partakes in. The model certainly looks nicely painted especially the well done face.

    The factories of the state empire are very busy and the Lù Duan could be finished in november 2018. I still consider the remotes a painting tax though.

    At least your painting tax looks nice. You did a good job on the yellow color.

    Thanks for your kind words.
    You really need these remotes to build competitive lists, and you need many of them. And the painting is is always the same. Oh man, I hate those legs. And with Invincible Army, the AVA of the 8 point remotes was doubled. :weary:

    Wahou ! Really nice work on those minis, I still have to paint this Lu Duan... It's waiting on my shelf for more than a year now, like you I feel it is a painting tax.
    Keep the good work !

    I know, I have 10 of the basic Yaokongs. Bought 8 myself and bought a dude out of YJ (which gave me a second starter box and yet another box o REMs).

    All I can suggest is nose art. MAKE them different. It's the only way to stay sane!

    I magnetised the weapons/equipment on my Yaokong Remotes, so I only had to paint two to get all the options, but I know I'll need two Flashpulse Yaokongs in nearly every list, so I grabbed another box. I plan to do the same with the Pangguling once I know which options are available for them.

    Ah, Makes sense now. Gotta say I'm not looking forward to painting any. Nothing wrong with models really, maybe could be updated, they seem to lack personalty or something... I cant put my finger on what it is. I was thinking of magnetising and proxying other models for my JSA as I'm not inspired by Yu Jing hand me downs... (maybe thats my problem).

    That could work. Find a design you particularly like and go for it.

    I only have a couple of those to paint so I won't have to worry about the repetitive part but this idea is really digging to stick into my mind.
    Never did such but really want to try now.

    If I was painting them yellow I would definitely use the easy Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV tag face on them but it won't work with my blue/purple YJ.

    I can't stand the YJ combatbots or baggagebots, so I used Nomad combatbots and Haqq baggagebots.

    I started painting the Guijia TAG in anticipation of the of the Invincible Army rules. Once the rules were released,
    the TAG soon became an excuse not to paint because it would not be played and I don't like to start painting new stuff before the current project is finished.
    The german satelite had a TAG mission, so I took the opportunity to finish him for the tournament in February 2019.
    I kind of rushed the paintjob and was not completely satisfied, so it took another 2 month to finally take the pictures.

    Comencé a pintar el TAG de Guijia anticipándome a las reglas del Ejército Invencible. Una vez que se publicaron las reglas,
    el TAG pronto se convirtió en una excusa para no pintar porque no sería jugado y no me gusta empezar a pintar cosas nuevas antes de que el proyecto actual esté terminado.
    El satélite alemán tenía una misión TAG, así que aproveché la oportunidad para acabar con él para el torneo de febrero de 2019.
    Me apresuré a pintar y no quedé completamente satisfecho, así que tardé otros dos meses en tomar las fotos.

    The new Daoying Hacker is, in contrast to the TAG, a mini that will see the battlefield nearly 100% of the time. So I finished her ways faster and I'm also quite happy how the traditional jade-green looks on the stripes of her camo skirt. I finished her in late March 2019.

Así que terminé con ella más rápido y también soy quite feliz como el tradicional verde jade se ve en las rayas de su falda de camuflaje. Terminé con ella a finales de marzo de 2019.
