classic Shadow Hawk

[Starbuck]

i had not that much time for painting lately, so i did things a bit differently with these two mechs: less layering, but stronger edge-highlighting ...
not as smooth as usual, but it took me about one-third less time to finish these.

Wow, nicely done on the whole lance!  O0 I really like your color choice, that tan is a nice, matte shade, and that brown does wonders to underscore it! Do you mind telling us what you used?  O:-)

[Luciora]

Quick question: the stone on your bases, is that actual pieces, or foam or something made to look like it?

[Sharpnel]

I've seen stone bits like that available at hobby shops, usually by the trains at my local Hobby Town.

quick answer: shale (or slate, or whatever you call it )  :)

as sharpnel said, you should get it at your FLGS or hobby shops.

Beautiful work!   :o

I really like the subtle details and bases. O0

Shame the Shadow Hawk is as big as an Assault (or bigger). :(

Are those decals or hand-painted emblems?
