BTW,THE BASE HASN'T BEEN DONE

You need some more layers to make your green thicker looks like Dark Angels green mostlywhich doesn't go well all by its lonesome I seem alittle camo or some othe rgreen to highlight but still not look just right, Try some more washes on your dude, cover him in Mud and see how that turns out haha. (seriously)

as I said before, better picture quality will get you a better vote.

Watch your mold lines, most visible on the helmet. Otherwise the paint lines look very neat, perhaps additinal shading could be used, although that is hard to tell in the photos. Try using the GW washes, if you are more uncomfotable with painitng several layers and blending your layers. You may also want to take a look on the GW website regarding their painting faces tutorial as I feel it is quite good. Overall this looks good, keep up the good work.

I used 3 washes o devlan mud because the tan clour (green orchre is very bright, same as desert yellow

Use the blade on your knife. If you run the blade over the mould line in the reverse direction you would use to cut, it gets rid of lines pretty well.

IE:
blade
angle
/ ---> direction of movement
----------------------------------------------- mould line

ok, thanks try that out

Btw, nice little digram, lol
