The contrast between the black interior and pilots and the brighter hull is not good... It looks like he gave the model a black undercoat and didn't bother to paint the pilots. My pick would have been to paint the pilots any other ceolour than black. If keeping to black he should have picked out some more details or made more distinct highlights.
In all other respects it's a very nice model. |
The first one is actually very dark brown and blue. The image doesn't properly illustrate this. Here are a couple more:
As far as the second one goes, it was painted as part of a larger army (I believe featured in a WD. Someone will undoubtedly know more about this). The theme centers around a mixture of dark and light paint alongside tons of battle damage. In the ends the army it turns out looking very good. However, I can see where you're coming from with the minis inside the vehicle; it's as though they were only highlighted. Even a little more attention to the black shading would have done wonders. I don't mind it.
