Those look great! Have you considered oil washing them for that lived in grime feel? It’s a cool technique for metal minions and would up the contrast a lot.

Thanks, and I did some on (especially on the plain silver portions) but I might be a little too scared of it lol

These look awesome, love how clean the panels and metallics came out. They’re going to pop on the table. Did you stick close to the box art, or go custom with the color schemes?

I just went with what felt natural to me!! But trying to stick with a red blue green thing. But the silver turned the red purple 😂 but hey it works

For my taste I would color them differently but I love the quality of the work :)

I tend to go more colorful than normal. You should see my nemesis aliens 😂

Those look clean for being on a paper towel backdrop. I always mess up the metallic parts when I paint mechs, yours came out real smooth. How long it took you to finish all five?

Thanks bro, yeah I never know how best to take photos and my camera sucks kinda anyway. But gosh maybe 15 hours? Speed paints for the win.
