This model was too large to use the Army Painter dip with, so instead I opted for a traditional paint job. The one new technique I tried was when I painted the wing detail. This would have been perfect for an air-brush, however, one must do with what one has and I used foam-stippling. By building up shades of stippled grey, I was able to achieve an interesting effect, which nicely breaks up the large, open spaces of the wings.
The rest of the model was edge-highlighted with dark blue and then bone, which is my go-to combination for all Raven Wing armour.
I decided to not touch the base yet, as I think that for such a large surface, you have to build a complete diorama. Otherwise, you end up with a rather bland plate of flock or sand which in my opinion does not look any better. At least here, I'm saying that the base is not part of the model. Only a bit of a cop-out...
Next up, the Raven Wing gets back to its bike roots
