not sure if the pics show it, BUT I have started on repainting the superstructure, rather than plasticote "creme de la creme", I have gone for games workshop Citadel brand white. its water based acrylic, normally used for painting things like space-marine figures by the GW lot, however it is pretty good paint, so I figured I'd use it on nordie.
First coat hides the stains and scars from the work to date quite well. I suspect she's gonna need about 3 coats in all
