Aiming all the better!
My typical mantra for projects is 'model more so you freehand less' but I suppose there's exceptions for everything, right?
Anyway, I was kicking this idea around since this morning and I got to put a brush on the model only around midnight-ish tonight. I'm not and never will be all that great at painting stuff like this on - I usually prefer to model it on so I can just pick details out - but I think it's a decent way of tying the red and yellows of the model in. I'll do the targeting array on his head in boltgun and wash it in brown a bit like I did the engine on his back to properly cut the brightness of it down.
It actually looks pretty sharp from tabletop distance. Getting this close with a camera reveals all the little spots I screw up or didn't draw quite straight, but I'll get over it.
Still need to highlight the rocket launcher on his back properly and pick some parts out in a brassy color, as well.
