Big dumb square box

I struck upon a good deal for some "used" models.  I was able to get a full squad of 10 Immortals armed with Tesla weapons (pre-assembled), and a Monolith (mostly assembled).  I had fully planned on trying to paint everything together but I realized that was a stupid idea, so I just did the monolith by itself first.

My main goal was to really weather up this mother.  I went with a base beaten silver base with contrasting black/grey/dark blue areas.  If I ever get ghost arks or any of the newer vehicles I would most likely focus on the black-blue scheme as the base for the model as opposed to the metallic one I used here.  I used a lot of soot in the vents, mud on the bottom, beaten silver and bleeding rust on the sides of the model.  The rust effect turned out great, however after a dull coat some of the weather effects got lost.  I also totally screwed up the green gem in the middle of the vehicle (glue prints are all over it).  All in all I'm pretty happy with it, however this beast is expensive in-game and I'm not sure how much action it will see.
