Starquest Miniatures - Androids

As promised I started painting some of the Starquest miniatures. Since I am really out of painting and never used a airbrush I thought of using this miniatures for some experiments.The first miniatures I chose are the androids (very similiar to the Necrons of Warhammer 40k).

Androids of Starquest

My goals for the miniatures were:

1. Using the airbrush for basecoating and preshading
2. Trying some OSL on the eyes
3. Using my bases from the pigment experiment

 A failed goal is to make some decent pictures. I really have to build a kind of photo booth...

What I did was:
Basecoating the whole miniature in black, then building up some highlights with grey and white by airbrushing just from a point straight above the head of the miniature. I then drybrushed everything with mithril silver.
After that I shaded some parts with badab black and made some hard edge highlights on the weapons.
Then I tried the OSL on the eyes (and on the weapons, since I thought this thingies look like energy valves or something like that). For that I used two greentones from Vallejo (GC 72028 and GC 72105) for the eyesockets and valve and a glaze from these two for the surroundings. Then I used putrid green for the first highlight and glaze and made a final highlight with skull white.

I am not displeased with the result. The pictures look worse than the original miniature. Especially with the OSL I am pretty pleased since it is the first time I tried this.
