I think that this model wins my award for the longest period of time to complete from start to finish. I started it nearly two years ago and I only got in the zone with it during one painting session a week ago. All the other sessions were just weren't going right. Green stuff job was awful, Colors weren't blending quite right, dry brushing had too little or too much paint on it, the initial color chosen on the Jack's hull wasn't right... The base, the shield and the arms were the only parts that went decently smooth.
I'm happy with the modification since this was my first major one but there is a lot of improvement to be had in my green stuff manipulation and shaping.
The inspiration for this mod came from a few models that I saw on coolminiornot and from web pics of broken zealot's Avatar (Who as I just discovered, also happens to be on IABN.)
Thanks for checking it out.

Carvolo
Here's a couple pictures of my finished Corvolo. He's been in my display case waiting to have his base completed. Of all my models, I think he's one of the few that I painted closest to the original colors. I find that the overall model has too much metallic paint for my liking and if i had to redo him i would change the pipes to something a little less "loud".
As per every model that I take pictures of, I notice a few details that need cleaning up... Like the bottom of his pants. Overall I'm satisfied with the result but there is always room for improvement.
