Looks great!

Mark and Lyle, thank you. I can’t wait to get this dragged over the finish line!

Nice Stik - the figure adds a great reference and he looks really good!
Thanks,

Thanks John. I’m just working on getting some practice in with the figure.

Looking really good Carlos. Dry brushing is a great technique that really brings out the raised details. The figure is looking awesome too.

Thank you Clint. I’m very happy with how this came out. I have added the final weathering now...

That way to the completed armor builds to check it out!

That's a very well done flat and dusty finish. Also the figures with their odd WWI helmets add a lot to it.

:giggles: Oh you’re bad Torben! :tease:

And thank you for the kind words on the finish and figures. They were all fun to paint.
