Flat coated then lightly weathered with pastels.

Red-yellow-white-blue/gray, probably most color bright build on the forum.  Low viz paint job aint for that one.  So different and done so well.  Excellento.   :)

Bet Flanksader will flow together looking quite believable.  keep posting this build.
