On the painting, I did a white basecoat. I then preshadowed with basecoat black the outside (I should have basecoated the metal parts black.) Then did a very light coat of Necron Abyss. Trying to keep most of the color on the lines and recesses. Then applied an even coat of Mordian Blue. I noticed that the parts I wanted brighter weren't. So I added a bit of white to the mordian blue and airbrushed the middle parts. Looks better in person. I don't know how I am going to do the edge highlights :(
