Hi

I recently finished this eldar jetbike for a little local online painting comp. I admit that the idea is blatantly stolen from an eldar titan I saw on CMON, which is one of the coolest paint jobs I've ever seen. This is not as good as the titan, but I'm very pleased with it nonetheless.

Hope you like it, c&c welcome!

Inspired by someone else or not you should be completely proud of your free hand work, and the entire model. One question though. Where did you get that old school flying stand? Keep up the amazing work!

Hi
Thanks for all the very positive comments! This is in my opinion my best work to date and it's very encouraging to get such positive reviews

Many hours! I didn't count, but I didn't paint or model anything else for over three weeks. Given that I do this stuff for maybe an hour or two a day it adds up to about 30-40 hours! And the crystals are just cut up sprue bits

I bought that model some 15 years ago, so the old school stand is the one that came with it

I have tons of unpainted and even unopened stuff in boxes, love rummaging through it to find something diverting to paint.

But thanks again for all the encouraging comments and feedback!
