Kantor (finally) Finished

I've been working on this model for a while and trying to use it as a way of practicing some techniques for a centre piece model.  I really like the Kantor model and think its crammed full of great little details and real sense of dynamism. 

There a number of different surfaces on the model and I've gone over a few of the techniques in previous posts.  The banner and touching up details on the model was all that was left from the previous post.  All the colours on the main model needed repeating to give a uniform look to the overall finish.  The banner top also required annother attempt at non-metalic gold.  The base of calthan brown was highlighted using tausept ochre. 

A problem previously was a lack of blending to the tone, raising through golden yellow to white more slowly and evenly.  A wash of Devlan Mud was used to lowlight and add depth before a final highlight.
The final step was to paint his base.  I painted this seperatley and glued Kantor to it at the end.  The base scheme is the same as throughout the rest of the army.  The rocks and pipe are from the warhammer 40k basing kit and adds a great sense of depth.

I'm happy with the overall look and effect but already there are problems I can't take my eyes off (not to mention a chip or two.  That said its great to look back at the finished project and to see it on the gaming table. 

On to the next project.
