I was using some leftover resin to test out some new and repaired SNAKE molds I had recently completed, and before long I had an almost complete SNAKE, so I went ahead and finished it off. The final color was a kind of sandy yellow, so I molded the hand attachments in brown and called it the Desert Operation SNAKE.

Very nice. Paint a little tan and brown camo on it and you've got a real winner. |

Yes, very nice. I don't know that the camo is needed. Just paint some of the detail, like the visor, and maybe some sand wear on the joints and you can call it good. |

you should fill some of your voids, but then you should also give some of your voids some 'battle damage' -- i like what you're doing here! |

I likes, but i agree with the others about some paint, maybe a wash to bring out the details. I like the decals you put on and i think you forgot the visor ? |

Cool. But indeed, paint the visor and add a little brown / tan camo here and there would perfect it. Tim 121RVC |

Pretty darn nifty. I can't imagine the work that goes into casting, so I'm always impressed. I like the idea of SNAKEs for different environments, but I do agree about dirtying it up a bit, so it looks like it just popped up outta the sand to ambush Dusty or something. |

You need to get food grade casting materials and sell chocolate and white chocolate snakes! |

Very nice. Just one suggestion: paint silver in the cast air "bubbles" to make it look like bullet marks instead of a flaw from the cast. |

I'd take some steel wool and rub it down to give it a worn look |

Here are some things thaat may be worth a try on this(these are very good tutorials and what he does is used by plastic modelling pros) : http://www.youtube.com/user/ScaleModelM ... pqp68xoLC0 http://www.youtube.com/user/ScaleModelM ... h-HpiqqbY0 http://www.youtube.com/user/ScaleModelM ... OAiXL4KPO4 I would only due a wash of a mixture of burnt umber and black(about 85 to 95% burnt umber) and light drybrushing in a sany color, or maybe tamiya dark yellow with a little bit of a san color. |
