...lined, edged and a Blue for Panzer Grey Mig filter. Then dirtied and stained with oils before adding scratches and chips.

Gun looks a bit mad, but a lovely vehicle none-the-less.

Not nearly as big as I'd imagined from shots without the base....

Nice work as always !

That last pic really shows the "wear and tear" very well. Outstanding work - as ever!

Looking good, you're going to have a very cohesive looking force in the cabinate by the time you're finished. (although as we all know, these kind of things just never quite finish, there's always a shiney new toy to add lol)
You've got me a bit mystified with   your doing the weathering before the markings, I can only assume that you add the markings and then do a second batch of weathering?

If you check the other vehicles you'll see the only markings are a unit number (dry transfer) on black - I do this last then re-weather. Daft, I know!
I haven't actually decided where to put it (them) yet...
and, yep - lots of "shiney new toys" still to add to the 'force' from Antenociti and they're doing an opposition!
ps you're Haqqis would look great with these (and wait 'til the APC is painted...!)

Yep - Uti said it. I love how you do the weathering. The nicks and chips in particular are fantastic. I know that they are painted on after the rest has been painted, but they still look like they've been chipped out of the layers of paint that are already there. Brilliant.

Superb stuff  :o
The weathering and chipping effects are second to none!

I always intended to add a figure to the Skorpion someday - this does the job nicely. Rider a slightly converted mantis monowheel rider...

Thought so, I really like those. There seems to be a plethora of bases availbable now, but many of the fenris ones remain some of the best. Saw these models at Salute today, and even nicely in the painted resin than in the pixel, you've done a great job of it.
