Dark Eldar Carnival Venom Gunner finished

What! Hobby! Never! Yes...yes it is true I have managed to pull my finger out and complete a model. Only taken me a month and a half :D.

Anyway this chappie is required for my venom ready for double trouble, as it looks a little silly without a gunner on the top. Unfortunately I have not been able to finish the other two, but it atill looks fine so I am happy enough to bring it with me

I matched the colour of his hat and cloak to the pattern on the front of the venom to tie in the colours of the vehicle with the rider. The legs I kept plain back as it was unnecessary to have patterns or colour of them as they are mostly hidden when he is mounted behind the gun. Pretty happy with him and the colours are nice. I am especially chuffed with the blue closk. It has turned out very lush after I applied a blue glaze over the top, and the highlights pop quite nicely.

Here are the other two. I have chosen and apllied the base colours for the one but still have the tidying up and all the highlights to apply, plus alot more :). The other chap I have yet to decide on a colour scheme. I am pretty sure I will be doing his trousers (pants for you Yanks) with black and white stripes. Apart from that I will just make it up as I go as usual.

I will post up my Double Trouble list later this week. I am looking forward to the event, and am excited to get my carnival fully painted onto the tabletop (although my list is not competitive in any way and will no doubt be crushed ignominiously, but that is a post for another day :)
