I think they copper chains do look a bit rusted. Not the old battleship at the bottom of the ocean rusted but a tarnished look. Looks vile and corrupted, stil think it would look cool in a 40K army.

I have looked at this many times now and the more I look, the more I like the thought about the Steam Punk look. The only thing I would change is the copper chains, need to be a rusted iron color, they come across as, please forgive me, cheesy. Just a ole man's 2 cents worth. I do very much look forward to your next project and I do hope it is soon. I also think after looking @ your photo album, you are a talented photographer as well as a builder. Yes

Red Comet

Thanks for the comments guys!

I was stuck on what to put on the base so I just went with a grassy setting for now. I really wanted to have a chopped up GM on the ground, but I don't have one on hand to do it and it needed to be finished now as it has to go into a competition next week.

Do let us know the results of the competition, photos would be just peachy Yeah

. Do you have another Gundam in your future build? I really have enjoyed your work on this figure.

nice!

one of our guys uses a PG Zaku and added chain mail armor skirt from a cut up butcher glove.

Any photos Surprise

. I would like to see the results of that mod. These Zaku seem to lend themselves to the process of modeling as a Knight because of the way they look. I see one of these in my future.

If you aren't having fun, you're doing it wrong! Build to please yourself and they will flame you every time!

Hello Red Comet, Oh yea, like what you did with this MFS. Another not afraid to go outside the box and add his own personal touches to create a master piece. I like. And another Gundam posted as well. Thanks for sharing. Cool

Cool looking warrior!

My only critique would be the pristine grassy base. Being some sort of post apocalyptic knight I would think a base featuring wrecked metal and gears would better set the scene and mood. Old watches and clocks are a great source for scale gears.

Idea Spray them silver and wash with acrylic clear 'smoke' & a bit of black. Once dry add rust with weathering powders. 2 cents
