On the fence
I mucked about with this a bit more, and I'm still unsure how I feel about it.
The weird thing is, these pictures make it look a little better than I think it looks to the eye, which is the reverse of the way macro photography usually works. I think it's just a bit overwhelming to look at and try to piece together in person.
I feel like the concept's there, but the execution is lacking. I tried to clean up the pistons and weapons a tiny bit with some boltgun metal and mithril silver, followed by some thin black washes all over the model. I am not sure if I want to keep working on it in it's current state, or chuck it into the paint-strippin' pot for a rematch with different weathering methods. I think part of the problem is my chosen scheme - I really wanted to pull of something like this Spriggan, which I idolize, but I went too far with the hairspray-chipping and made a mess of things.
What do you guys think? Press on and keep trying to clean the thing up, or toss it to the proverbial lions and strip it for another go?

For it’s own thing, your ‘zerker there is a decent paint job. Granted, it’s nothing to get excited about, but I think it’s a pretty fun thing to look at. If it were me, I would try a couple quick treatments like a wash for rust and maybe some drybrushing to pick out worn edges- and if that doesn’t tip opinion one way other the other, break out The Warp.

Seems like a lot of work to do just to go strip it off. I think it looks pretty decent and I agree with ‘Bees.

Looks very wonderfully, great work.
