Warmachine, Cygnar Battlegroup 2016, Firefly

Introduction

My second model in the Cynar box was the this guy the firefly. I was a little scared of the gun to be honest. It looked complicated, I wasn't sure of the effect I was going to use I knew I wanted something like the box but I had no idea how to achieve it.

Conclusion

I feel like I've done alright with the gun arm on the Firefly, It was always going to be a little strange and I definitely didn't have a idea of how to do it. But and its a good but, I've managed to pull one out of the bag and create a model I don't hate. I don't think the inking worked too well on the Armour I think for further models I will fully ink then dry brush them back up again.
