I like your approach of getting each major component set up and then doing the painting and detail. Least ways, that is what I assume you are doing.

I do like to prep sections first...then bring it all together...

It's not all glued together yet Paul, will paint, then button it up!

First stage of paint...the NMF or Silver...Warhammer Acrylic Mithril Silver does the trick!

Wayne looking good. I notice that you use Warhammer paints, I presume you spay them what do you dilute them with and are they easy to spray? Also are they resilient and not prone to marking? I was thinking I might use them in the future.

Thanks Vaughan, I use their metallics, I dilute them with Tamiya X20A Thinner. Like any paint treat them right and you should be good. They seem to mask over well for other paints, in my case tamiya, and so far not had any issues with them.
