Alright some rough test of the scheme on old models, Nothing pretty but it gets the General colors across what do you guys think?

I like it it!

May I suggest an idea? try throwing a red glaze/wash over the armoured carapace, should give you slightly better definition on the plates and blend into the highlights on the edge

edit: And it may not be your thing (fine if it isn't its damn tiem consuming and irritating on a 100+ gants) but run the edge of your hobby knife over the mold lines. generally I find it easiest to put gants together and doing that before I glue them to the base.

I normally do these are REALLY old back from when i first started playing, Also will give the glazing a shot. (I hate mold lines but on a few test models i figured..."Eh i am stripping em anyhow")
