2 colors and a sloppy black wash, and already youv'e made the original look like crap. Welcome to Seibertron!

I agree. It's very nice. Can we have a close-up of the face?

Absolutely awesome.

BTW, I really like the clean, detailed panel lining you got from the black wash. If only I could to get a similar effect for the DMK-OP I'm planning on building.

I use fresco Tempera paint, which is a water based paint for children I think. I mix varying amounts of dawn soap and water, and test it on a junk plastic model. I wipe the wash off with Q-tips once dry. I think I should have used more soap/water as I took off some thin areas of paint by rubbing too hard with the Q-tips (bad photos help hide this).

Thanks for the tips, Assaultwaffle! If my DMK OP looks anywhere near as nice as your Skorponok when it's completed, I'll be a happy camper.
