+Dark grey exterior armour parts primed and pre-shaded (Vallejo Black), and blue exterior armour panels primed (Vallejo surface primer, grey), the parts that will be blue are done in a lighter primer so that any pre-shading (not done yet) will stand out more:

+Priming and pre-shading of further exterior amour parts:

+Final colour applied to exterior armour parts, pre-shading didn't come through quite as pronounced as I would have liked... should have thinned the colour (Vallejo IDF Blue) a bit more:
+{{:blog:img_1022.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:img_1023.jpg?400|}}
+Primed final exterior parts, these will be finished a flat mid-grey colour to contrast against the dark blue/grey and the medium blue exterior panels:
+{{:blog:img_1024.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:img_1025.jpg?400|}}
+Most exterior parts panel lined/washed and ready for assembly:

+Starting to fit the exterior panels, most work done, but lining/washing still needed on the dark grey sections; missed the panel lining on one of the shoulders, so that arm needs to be re-done before final assembly:
