Last night I got a dry brush of copper over the beetle. This evening I did a bit more work on the saddle and seat for the driver (?) Perhaps mahout?

It is slowly coming together… I might have to sort out that front leg a bit. I can’t remember it looking that shiny though. Could be camera flare?
I had a go at the GW plastic orks at Geek Club (not sure what they are called now.. probably GW-orks!)

I really do not like them. Not sure why, but definitely not for me. I only painted them as I had forgotten to take my stuff in!
Good progress! 🙂 I quite like those orks!

I really like that beetle but I think it looks very grey. Might be worth adding a bit of a blue or even purple tinge to suggest the iridescence?

That has really worked on the bug to my eyes.
