  1. Any chance we can get a tutorial or some tips on how you did the eggshell look on the gray? It's fantastic.

  2. Looks great, love the brass look to the legs and nice smooth yellows. The dappled grey is tremendous.

  4. Thank you for your comments! I really appreciate the comments about the grey- I was skeptical about this approach because I was worried about how the finish would look when compared to airbrushed armor plating. All I did was basecoat with Citadel Air Mechanicum Grey. Then, I went to WalMart/Target and bought E.lf make-up brushes (no joke). I thinned down Celestra Grey and used a stippling technique. I used the make-up brushes because they were inexpensive and this process is not kind to brushes. I was surprised at how well the finer bristles held the paint. I just built up the layers. I was pleased for it being my first time trying this technique.

    Again, thank you all for your encouraging words. I have one more Reaver to build. I’ll post pics as I go!
