I’d like to do something graphically in the Joe Johnston design manner first then do a couple of desert plates with DAK troops in versions of storm trooper armor, only this is all that desert tan. Lemme know. I’m kind of fired up. Thanks!

GO FOR IT! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Wash on the hatch, and there’ll be a white oil paint wash to sun fade it shortly:

As per Bruce’s suggestion, got another DAK stencil on there, ready for clear coats:

Wash on the weapon systems:


More wash on the weapon systems;


Wash on the back:


BOOM!


Another sun fade on top with the oils, then some pigments on the feet, then a flat coat, then done! This’ll be complete soon!

Brilliant work Kenny! Man, I was right, such incredible improvement beyond what I thought was possible!

Thanks Duke! We’re very nearly there too!

Kenny, each stage of progress that you share with us here looks better and better. Sort of the Galactic Empire meets Mascinen Krieger. Fantastic work!

Thank you for the compliment, Carlos.

I Googled “Mascinen Krieger” because Inwas unfamiliar with him, and ended up falling down one of the more visually interesting rabbit holes I’ve fallen down in a very long time. His work is visually compelling and really quite fascinating! So thank you!

Looks like I misspelled my answer. It’s actually Maschinen Krieger, a series of mech warrior 1946 type kits. I think that Hasegawa produced them. Now I have to go look for what you found...

I found this...
Man I used to love reading Heavy Metal...
