I fear that there will only be one, I don't have any casting skills..

Anyways I added some more details, mainly ladders and small windows, also PE parts. Then I primed the model with gray primer. Next I plan to paint it, I hope that it will be soon, as my airbrushing time is limited :(..

Thank you very much!
This will the first mini for my imperial guard, and I did some tests on how to paint them.
The scheme I'll probably do is a coat of light gray, fortress gray probably, and camo of dark gray above it, probably adeptus battlegray. Then I'll add light blue and white tactical marks.

But The capitol imperialis I'm going to paint with an airbrush, and I'll use Tamiya's acrylics for it. I hope it will turn out well, I just need to find the time to airbrush, probably a couple of weeks from now :(..

Think grey and dark grey will very good, think you defo need to add some large imperial eagles though and possibly paint a few items gold with a black or blue wash to age/tarnish them slighty, Think this would add a bit of bling but not be to OOT.

Hi,
Good ideas!
I plan to add some decals, and paint some details. Gold will go great with my scheme.

Hi,
I sprayed the base coat of gray on the model. I used Tamiya's paints with an airbrush, and tried to do some shades. I'm not sure how noticable they are. Last coat was Tamiya's clear as a base coat for the decals.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I thought about painting the panels with gray to create come better contrasts, and then add some light blue as tactical markings and details.
I also have some light blue decals.

Hoep to hear your mind,
Eyal.

Hi,
I'm happy to say that it is done, took me a lot of time to paint, I hope you like the result.
Added some PE imperial eagles from a friend, and painted with GW paints.
It is also the first model of my new imperial guard army, and I'll share more of that later on :).
Thanks for watching and for all the great suggestions I've recieved along the way,
Eyal.

The finished product is really great!

Grey is in my opinion rather hard to blend nicely but I think you have done
it superbly!

thanks for sharing!

It isn´t my design, though
but both scratch & paintwork is very very well
the landing paltform is superb
and the details are great

maybe you can add some guys running around
or a spotting vessle on the platform
a arvus lighter transporting a high imperial officer?
