On M-Bot's suggestion, I'm posting this up.

My version of CW Fire Chief. Not an original idea I'm sure but what they hey. Picked up a cheap CW Victorion from PC, got myself an extra CW Hot Spot, some orange Tamiya paint & voila. :D

Planning on adding some some reprolabels to finish it off. This has now give me my next project, CW Guard City. Here's hoping I finish it :)

Nice, do you plan on some panel lining? That red is fairly intense.

If I can (more or less) do it, so can you!

Maybe, never tried it before tbh. Don't have a steady hand unfortunately, hence the reprolabels idea.

You don't need steady hands - I mean it helps - you put down a layer of wash - games workshop has a decent range - it gets into the lines and detail and then you clean it up with a cotton bud and some isopropyl alcohol.

To build confidence try it out on a tf you don't mind screwing up e.g. a ko from a dollar store.

There's also a metric butt load of weathering and panel lining tutorials on YouTube :)
