I have said this rarely. In fact, I can't even recall the last time I used this to describe a model online.

Exquisite.

Proportions, details, paint work and styling. Harmony.

Breathtaking model. One of the best single Tau models I've ever seen.

*monty python esq voice* Its only a model...


In all seriousness it is in fact amazing.

Fantastic.
Honestly, that is one of the best models I have ever seen. The colours...the proportions.... It's Amazing!!!!

I think 'Eavy Metal would be crying in a corner after seeing this. This is honestly the single best painting job I have ever seen. And I have seen quite a few. I can't think of anything to make it look better really. Every effect is there, it looks so real, and it is something I definetly would love to see on the tabletop.

You should enter this in the next Golden Demon, it'd be nice to see a few more Tau models. These days it's always a damn Space Marine captain or something....

I totally agree with Helios! And that piranha is really amazing.

whoa, whoa - how'd I miss then final thread? This is... incredible! If I remember correctly, you weren't going for the look of an ARC-170 - well, you definitely nailed it!

However - the best, most subtle part of the whole thing is your base! I like the angle the model is at (what a great swoop), and I really love that you didn't use a clear stand! Congrats across the board!
