Planetfall Aquans

My first test paint scheme.  Needs a little clean-up, but the basic pattern is there.  The actual scheme is a bit brighter in real life.

Looks good! I'm planning something similar to that when I get around to painting mine ;).

Making steady progress.  Base colors are down and working on details.

A bit more work done, mostly on the medium tanks, an example of which is in the bottom-center of this pic.  The dark green is a Tamiya clear green over white.  I'm hoping it will keep its glossy/wet sheen once I clear coat it.  If not, I'll have to go back with brush-on gloss coat to finish.  It's a little hard to see, but I'm also using a pearlescent white for the beam crystals.  It's fairly watery, so I have to apply an undercoat of white before putting it on.  I used the same color for the beam emitters on my Armada Aquans and it has so far maintained its sheen under clear coat on those ships.

They are looking great! I really like the color combinations you are using here. The green and pink/purple spot colors really show up nicely.
