My exchange mini painted for Superhessianv reached finally it's destination, so I can post some pictures of the finished mini and WIP.
As you can see painting 'black' armor wasn't easy and smooth process;p But I guess I learned something from that lesson (i.e. I know how to paint gray armor now;p)
Mostly because I had no idea where I am heading with the armor, at the beginning I painted it with Field Blue from Vallejo Model Color, and had to fight all the time to hide this background colour under more brownish hues. But I guess I can treat a layer of Field Blue as an underpainting, that gives final colours something extra.
For a base I decided to use one of the Scibor's basing kits, few bits of cork, sandy paste and grounded sponge. It's rather simple, so I hope it doesn't drag viewer's eye from the mini.
I placed it all on the top of screw top lid from one of old GW paint. Now I think I could paint it as well, but the mini is out of my hands now, so it's too late.
