This one has been sitting on my workplace for years, gathering dust...finally got around finishing it in the lovely blue of my slowly but ever growing force of 40k Légion étrangère...done as an exercise in creating rust from pastel chalks...There are some last bits missing but it might be another couple of years so I thought I put the pics up now
Hope you guys like it
Tom

The mud and rust work really well against that blue finish.

That looks awesome. I especially like the rusted and burnt effect on the exhaust.

Great job on the rust dust as well as the rest

40K is not my cup of tea but this is nice. Cool chapter concept to.

I'd be fun to see a 40K force painted up in peace keeping United Nations colours, you know a Rhino (I think they are called?) painted white with 'UN' in block letters on the side. :)

The cooler and the rust is really pretty nice. The comic style blue with the military-like rust. Maybe you could have made the exhaust more rusty and smut. Also how about some more knick-knack like the chains. But it's a very impressive APC anyway. Keep going.
