New phone with decent camera, and the good lighting is at work. This is going to take a while. :)

It's pretty simple. Start with a light gray or white primer, and hit the whole thing with a black wash or ink. Drybrush up to the desired shade with medium and/or light grays. Do the green trim and mechanical bits, then weather a bit with a very light gray.  Cockpit, flocking, decals, done!

I suppose this Scorpion has been modified to resemble the -10M model, isn't it?
What parts did you use to get this result? I assume the gun is a Solitaire heavy laser and the LRM rack was part of a Black Lanner.

Fine works as usual.  :thumbsup:

That's exactly it. The nose was built up with styrene and putty. :)

... and he's spamming REDDIT with his efforts too. 

I hear he's in it for the worthless internet Gold.  :)

Still... Good looking work all around.
and I'm happy someone else has time and talent for painting.

I love the Trebaruna sculpt and seeing this definitely makes me want to add one or two to a formation soon. Is that a standard hex base or one of the larger?

The Carronade is still one of the finest miniatures to come out of IWM. So beautiful. Nicely done.

Hell yeah, brother.

Weirdo those are marvelous. I love that soft grey you've used in particular. Who is it by?
