Vince. The leather armor strips are called pteruges from ancient greek - πτέρυγες (ptéruges) 'feathers'. First used by the Greeks on their bronze and linen cuirasses and then adopted by the Romans as part of their different styles of armor.

I finally tested out this scheme on my airbrush. I have a DreadClaw Dropship. One thing I failed to do was mix the Tamiya jar of Green and blue before pouring out. the green tends to have yellow rise to the top of the jar and if it's not mixed up well. Once I correctly mixed it worked great.

For anyone curious about the choice on Tamiya clears in addition to what Vince covered in this video: GW's display photos for the Alpha Legion on Forge World also used these Tamiya paints. I believe they said it outright in one of the older paint guide/books. Keep in mind this was well before Contrast was in the works. Probably anywhere between 4th-6th edition of 40K...when it was still common to see homebrew and DIY in the crafting part of the master codex. If you choose to work with contrast, you could go with either Akhelian Green, Terradon Turquoise, or some mix of the two.

No interest in AL personally, but just wanted to thank you for, well, being your regular self; it's refreshing to see a simple tutorial and someone capable of amazing minis saying it's impractical to do display quality all the time. Some other youtube channels would have you believe everything should be display all the time - fair play to whoever wants that, but I really appreciate how down to earth you are. Sometimes I feel bad for wanting to just do good enough and move on - Death guard has become a grind. Every model has so much going on; rust, pitted metal, trim, pitted trim, wood, leather, cloth, tentacles, teeth, horns, innards.. usually not all of those, but most of them.
