Still kind of ugly:



Got quite a ways to go on this guy. The pilot's mostly done, but the painted stuff around him needs a layer of wash to knock the shiny down, and the red's just a basecoat at this point. (Even still, took me over an hour to do just the red basecoat on this one, and there's five more to do!) Left to do:
-Lots of metal parts in the drive system
-The rotors, complete with spiky bits to use when attempting a rotor attack (!)
-The skids. Wasn't sure how much I could tear them up and still be believable. A veteran friend of mine assures me that skids get rusty even in the US Army, so essentially no amount of neglect and abuse is too much for an ork vehicle...
-The blood red top-coat, plus a lot of scratches, dings, and general wear on top of that
-The front-mounted rokkits
-Some transfers (probably just a couple of lightning bolts, though if those go well I might try some black-and-red dags)
-Five bloody more of them

Someone want to tell me what I was thinking when I took this up as a hobby? Even so, it's definitely better than just playing shooters all night. I mean, it's not great by any means, but it's not 'orrible, and it'll look pretty nice when it's done, and I feel like I've been at least somewhat productive...
