I spray painted the mini with a coat of white primer and then a heavy coat of a "icy white" base. Considering its role as a scout `mech, I wanted to keep it as a "white lightning" `mech. Thus, I only added a little detail. I used "metallic green" in a few locations and a little "gun metal black" for the gun barrels. I added "metallic red" to the `mech's faceplate. I then assembled it, applied some water slide decals and attached it to the base. The base was filled in with sand grains, bushes and rocks. When all was set, I applied a coat of glaze to protect and seal it.
