I got my hands on an Imperial Knight (after promising my self that I'd never get one). It is a sweet model and I can't wait to get it painted up. Here is the assembled model and a shot of the paint job start. The weapons are fairly easy to magnetize if you do the gun before you put it all together. Also, I haven't glued the final face on yet. Will do that when I get the under lying stuff painted first.  P1020570 by Doug Crabb, on Flickr  P1020572 by Doug Crabb, on Flickr  P1020573 by Doug Crabb, on Flickr |

Latest update on the paint job for my Imperial Knight. The metal work is almost done and I added some warning striping to the hatch and end of the chainsword. Next up I hope to get the contrast color on all the panels and shoulder pads  P1020577 by Doug Crabb, on Flickr  P1020576 by Doug Crabb, on Flickr |

Nicely coming along, the caution lines on the chain sword looks uneven, may I suggest using carefully cut masking tape to solve that problem. I'd also would drill the heavy stubbers, it will look much better.

Thanks for the input. I have more work to do with black lines and plan on tightening up the lines then. I will give drilling the stubbers a try

Not much progress until recently (kids and grandkids visiting) but now that things are quieter I have time to paint again. Here is the latest step in my progress of painting my Imperial Knight. I haven't seen the stripe pattern on a Knight yet, if you have please let me know.
A lot of work still to be done and the white is washed out a bit by the flash. Next progress photos will have better lighting.
What do you guys think of this?

I like the cow hide pattern, certain areas need some shading and highlight(red parts). fields(knee) and caution lines could be more precise, try using a xacto knife and lightly go down the intended line, it will act as a moat when painting.
