The front ( minus dome ) is finsihed. I also repainted the back with a darker green called "Russia Green". IMO looks way better now. I am working my way around the back with the weathering.

Another update :) Man I always believed, the back would be easier to paint due the big splotches. This segment took my about 7 hours in two days. I am already "afrait" of the other side ;)

I hear ya on that bro! I have had to walk away for hours, and do something else to keep my mind off of it. Very tedious and time consuming...

Scoob, what brand/color silver are you using ? It looks excellent, nice and bright .....(y)

Since I can´t find those funky named colors mentioned in the sticky post above, I use simple acryls from the local hobbystore. They dry pretty fast, make a nice smooth surface and are cheap.

I use these colors, from RAYHER DecoArt.

The silver is just called "Bright Silver"

Other colors I used so far :

"Corn-yellow" for the shoulders
"Sun-yellow" for the shoulder-inner-scratches
"Artichoke" for the chest armor
"Burgundy" for the gauntlets, helmet-mandibles
"Black" for the inner cheeks, blaster
"Russia Green" for the helmet back
"Bambi Brown" for the blaster rust
"Cinnamon" for the RF ear
Custom mixed green for the helmet dome and cheeks

TY for the info,
I really think the silver stands out nicely...;)
 
Finished the other half of the back today. Now I am only left with the dome, some final weathering and assembling. :)

After a few days break, I started on the dome today. Finished the "catscrath" , the "arrows-area" and started on the main dent and the kill stripes.
