Eldar Cobra Super Heavy Grav Tank (Alaitoc)

This is a resin tank kit from Forgeworld that I painted up in Alaitoc colours for a client. He requested that it be done up in the same alien camo scheme as the Eavy Metal ones, which was fine except that it just about completely obscured the hours of blending I did on the armour. Everything that could be construed as a gem, I painted up as a gem, and I spent considerable time making sure the blending on the bone accents was as clean and seamless as possible. In fact, anytime you work on a model this big, your blending becomes vitally important in order to give the model a proper sense of scale. Finally, I freehand painted a fireball yin-yang symbol on the left side, and a silhouette of a hand crackling with lighting energy on the right. I have to say that I was really happy with the way things turned out, even though it was an exhausting and time consuming project to take on.

That's one cool mini for sure. I especially like the jeweled look on the barell.

I can see the blending that has taken place and much time spent looks very nice... would get this model myself but can't afford it... can't paint this well though... good job
