Warmachine, Cygnar Battlegroup 2016, Ironclad

Introduction

The last of the models for the Cygnar Battlegroup. I really wanted to give this guy a good go and I tried to get the the model to have a little more contrast. The model itself is kinda simple its essentially a jack with a hammer and not too much else to it. To get this right I had to pick out every little detail with the silver or gold and make it stand out.

 Conclusion
While I am happy with the model I am not happy with the brightness of the model. I think I may work on the colour a little more, one thing I have always found difficult is when I take a photo the model can look really good while on the shelf unlit it will look overly dark. I don't know how to fix that at the moment but it is always something to work on.
