finally got to getting pictures of the broadside that I got done for CC plus some pictures of the models base before putting it on. my next challenge I'm trying to tackle is the Tau Flying dinner plate (Tiger shark AX-1-0) i so far managed to carefully take off the main gun's and magnetize them for better storage and transport and I'm working on getting the red done and it's been quite an challenge so far. imgur.com/a/1FF24MK - Broadside

just an update post of what I've been working on for the past while, I decide to take my hand at airbrushing to try and maximize time for surface area and then doing touch up via brush, so far this is what I have got done for the tiger shark so far I also removed the main guns got them magnetized as well for better storage. imgur.com/a/EuAFXP8

I'm finished the tiger shark, I'm happy that i can move onto other projects and I'm happy with it but I feel like it's missing something to make it look better, I'm not sure what yet. also I think I'm understanding my phones camera a bit more to make less lens flares/bright spots when the light hit's the models. imgur.com/a/XmNc6gL - AX-1-0

Looks very clean. If you're looking to get some "pop" in your models, a complementary spot color can sometimes be good, or a glow effect on weapons or something else just to get that extra "wow" factor.... plus super easy with an airbrush (maybe practice on something other than a tiger shark first though!)
There's definitely nothing wrong with just going the clean route as you've done though, it's all how it matches with your current army. (and if you add a spot color, lens effect, glow etc. you'd have to be willing to go back to your other painted models to make sure they all get the same effect so it can be a pretty time consuming thing to do)

Thanks and yeah I've been wanting to do glow effects for that reason and not because I would have to go back and re do some of my other models and wargear and I have a whole bunch of back log I gotta kill. But my next army I plan on doing in the future i plan on doing glowing effects and battle scaring

Well Sept'emeber is here and I'm going to showcase all that i have painted/built with some extra's from the past, when i was setting this up i thought i was going to have extra/empty space on my display board to add some terrain for filler/flare the showcase but i might need to build an bigger board for next year, but what i have on the left there in the last few picture's is some paint scheme's i was adventuring to try but i choose the red one as my main but decided to keep them because of the work i put in them and show how i have gotten better over time, minus the blue/pink/purple one's those i am currently repainting and i don't have to much left to do since i took a picture of them. also i couldn't fit all my wargear onto the board either so i did the one's i had the most of. imgur.com/a/u1isovd

Well it's been an hot minute since I've updated this but here is something I completed a while ago and kept procrastinating on uploading the images but I'm done my stormsurge that I did some conversions on it to make it more in line with the rest of the tau suits and I also just really don't like the default look imgur.com/a/9yHeevY

Not a tau-boy myself, but that is one fine piece of work. Amazingly clean paint job!
