Waow !
I really like your colors choices : their "light" is so smooth - if you know what I try to say...
The guns are good without metallics : how do you highlight them ?

I would like to paint like you : teach me ! - he says, in a desperate cry...

Meow,
Matt

thanks!  The colours are a bit more dull in real life though...

edit: oh, sorry, the guns are painted black and highlighted by mixing in flesh tones.  

And I'm not tired of praise at all!  A bit embarassed at times though   :oops:

Excellent use of colours! They look like they all belong together, even though though they are all different ( does that make sense?).
Any way, very cool!

Just another kudo from me!

You have such a deceptivly simple looking painting style.  Meaning it looks like it would be easy to mimic, until you try....and try....then cry.

Anyhow, your stuff is ALWAYS inspirational to me.  Keep it up!

Very nice work FG!

What paint range(s) do you use?  8)

thanks guys!  you fellas keep me motivated!

I use mostly Vallejo model colours, which was used to paint these.  I have a few others (which weren't used this time) the Vallejo game colours, some reaper master series...

I also have a bunch of cheaper crafts paints (plaid) which I use to paint the base...

Excellent work!  If only I could keep up the pace.  I'm in a low-productivity period now.  Very slow going, and spending a lot of time watching movies...

I never thought of mixing in flesh tones for highlights.  Need to try that!
