Please bare with me as this is my first tutorial

Well, to start you get your model.

**legoburner**

Looks nice and fast, how long did it take from start to finish?

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Looks nice,same question as above.

Might I reccomend making a cheapo light box. All you need is 3 sides of a box (pick a corner and us the 3 side that touch that corner), line it with white paper, use 2 desk lamps, 1 on each side. The tick is you dont want the light shinning directly on the models, you want it mor subtle. Do this and your pictures will look 1000 time better.

hello ive been gone for awhile

anyways it took roughly 15-20 minutes to paint it. not that long. and backno i used to have a light box but was at my aunts house so i couldnt use it.

I salute you sir

**Ardensfax**

I'll certainly use this!

You need to have a neutral background to make the camera focus on the model instead of the background you could just use a piece of paper folded in half for example

Try different base coatx and drybrushing too.

For my Plague Marines I base then Catachan, Paint red foundation on guns and backpacks Dry Brush the whole thing Bubonic Brown, do details with white and a few random things I made then wash it Badab Black. Turns out great.

It looks nice, but personally i thnk the models are so great they deserve a bit better tratment than that. Still a good looking spead-paint. Its jsut that i've never really enountered somone with hte need to paint lots of plague marines...

**ZacktheChaosChild**

I like a greener color but nice job!

**Element206**

That technique isnt bad at all...great work! And it looks very simple

**Flying Pooo**

Quick, dirty which is what you'd want with plague marines.
