My first attempt at painting the new mechs. My paint scheme is going with a rusted look, using various colors of paint (red, blue, etc.) to show that the mercenaries are using what they can obtain, and don't necessarily spend the time to maintain their equipment...also it is 3025 and I imagine a mercenary unit, except the most successful, wouldn't have the most well-maintained or attractive equipment.
With this unit, the majority of the mech was originally a sky blue, and the left arm got replaced with a red one.
For self criticism; I think I need to add more of the base colors (reds, blues, etc.) and a bit less rust, keeping it more to the edges of the panels. However, the convenience with this paint scheme is that every unit would have a different amount of rust so as I get better with this paint scheme it can just be played away as different levels of disrepair. I also need to try a bit harder on the jeweling of the cockpit, so I will watch some videos for the next unit.
Let me know your thoughts. I certainly welcome any and all advice, so long as it is constructive :)
