All I've left to do is magnetize the gun options. I really love this model.

I'm in the process of repainting my Nid fleet.

That is a beautiful paintjob did it come together okay or were there difficulties?

That looks great man, nice looking scheme too.

I found when putting mine together that some of the gaps are more prevalent than other models I have put together recently. Nothing green stuff wouldnt fix, or in my case paint and dont care wont fix.

Nice work! Your new scheme looks great.

This... I've not used green stuff yet, but the vertical seems are pretty large.

Also, it is easy to get the 5 sections of the top out of alignment when glueing them together. Make sure to check them all together before your glue sets.

Thanks for the comments! New scheme takes so much longer, but it helped me win a tournament over the weekend.

nice paint work. Keep it up

Toxicrene Finished: I magnetized the arms for easy removal. I used Milliput to surround the magnets, which matches the socket, and keeps the arms from sagging.

The bottom picture is for size reference. I originally painted the Feeder Tentacles orange/yellow, but decided to go back and paint them with the purple/pink scheme in the top picture. The model took about 7 hours to paint with Magnetizing. I had primed and assembled it already a few days ago.

Aaawesome Love the look of it all

you do a great job alright! You should put together a step by step tutorial!

[beefythepug]

Wow nice paintjob, really like how your scheme is looking. Especially the techniques on the blue layering/highlighting.

[rpricew]

Thanks for all the great comments… On the next model that I paint I'll try and do a step-by-step pictures and write up on how I do it

Damn, you beat me to the punch. Good work! I might steal your idea for genestealer pustules on the base if you don't mind.

Put some guns on him! He's naked!
