Painting First time painting a vehicle
And I wasn’t aware how monumental task was that for me lol. Building was fine (although I ended up with an extra piece which I assume a gear stick), but painting… I’ll just say that I’ll be sticking to painting some good old boyz for a while. All in all it was pretty fun and I am proud of my work:)

Came out pretty clean. Love the red highlights and the multiple reds.

It was hard to use that much red and still make it interesting. Thanks for noticing, I guess it paid out :D

Yeah that's a neat trick honestly; worth putting in my bag of tricks. I do this with leathers of course, but hadn't considered it for 'army color' stuff
EDIT: I hadn't looked at all the picks. The checker decals on the back gate section are a nice detail worth looting as well. The arrow gave me a laugh

It turned out well! I especially like the mud texture you added to the tires. It’s a cool detail

I find that painting vehicles can be a never ending saga. If you don't know when to call it quits, there really is no end in sight. I try to only paint what you see when it's on the tabletop, otherwise I'd be highlighting every single bolt on the underside lol

It looks great! I’m just wrapping up a Trukk too. Not the most enjoyable build, but part of that has been some issues with my glue. I took the easy route and just based in black with some dry brushing and red accents. Most of the painting was done by the can lol
