Crawler Cyborg (28 mm) from Brother Vinni

I thought the models were cool and wanted to get four colorful minis onto the table quickly; it was a good opportunity to experiment with pigment powders and "Dirty Down" paints.

The green one got a homemade shield (made from a plastic card, a magnet, and a chain - last 3 pictures) and an old Eldar chainsword, while the black one got the chain (a real chain held in shape with superglue).

The bases are not included with the original model and are simple MDF discs with stuff from my bits box.

Classic Biel-Tan color scheme, with airbrush and transparent red cockpit windows inc. painted pilots

I've finished several infantry models, a transporter, a Vultrax, and two Vorax vehicles, and I'm quite happy with them so far. However, I'm unsure about the Kiros. Should I leave it as it is, or should i paint the inner gears and outer flywheels in white or metallic? Details like the driver, weathering, etc., are still missing.
