Finished my Vyper with water effects base. Decided to go with an Eldritch Raiders scheme for a retro vibe to match the Vyper's retro feel.
Painting the stripes was so fun I kept adding them. At first I was just going to do the canopy, but then I added to the wings, then the turret. I had to stop myself.
The water effect was a combination of hotglue to build the ripples, Mod podge to smooth it out, painting it bright silver then Aeldari contrast with darker blue in the deeper area, white built up for the crests, then more layers of Mod podge to create a clear gloss finish.
