This is all I can do today. I have finished all the metal work. I have blocked in all the colors. All I have left is to do the highlights and selected details. Then some weathering and all done. I should have these finished tomorrow.
The orange is an Americana craft paint applied with make-up sponges. The sponges give the cool shadows over the black primer. Once this has dried I come back with GW Blazing Orange and a brush.

Wow, you sir are a fast worker! The Orange looks good,I don't think you had to worry about not being able to meet this challenge:)
Doing great! You'll have these finished in the same amount of time it is taking me to do a single Predator!
That was incredibly fast.
I second Sovietspace and Oni. That is very fast indeed. Wicked orange too. Is it foundation Macharius Solar Orange via an airbrush?
The orange is an Americana craft paint applied with make-up sponges. The sponges give the cool shadows over the black primer. Once this has dried I come back with GW Blazing Orange and a brush.
