Well, here is my first mini. Here are some pics of what I`ve done so far. I`ll post me progress when I can:

Here is the model. I`ve reworked the hand posture and changed tubes one legs:





I`ll skip the painting process, which you can see in my blog, and just show you the result I`m having now. I`ve also made a base for mini:









Feel free to comment

Great job! But let's be honnest: it's not really your first mini, right?

Unless he is Jesus. Really nice posing of that guy, may have to steal it some day. Lovely job and I really think a good base is what makes a models look good, and that one heck of a good base!

The mini is first, its true. I never worked with 28mm before. I`ve used to work with 1/35 scale models, mostly tanks, but painted several soldiers that were not that good

So in other words, it is not your first mini

MAECTPO, are you going to build a whole space wolves battleforce or was it just a model that got your attention?

Hyenajoe - I`m gonna paint all wolves in the pack and then gonna get the terminators The problem is that I dont know whom to play with here

Looks REALLY good man, loving the pose and the paintjob is excellent too. I admit, I'm not too big a fan of the modern (blue) Space Wolves colour, but I think yours looks really good, love the smoothness of the blue and red. Can't wait for more man.
Excellent gold on the details and weapons too, really beautiful colour there.

Just Dave - Glad that you`ve liked it.

I`m getting closer to finish. I`ve painted the pads and scroll and assembled all on miliput to determine the final posture

Fixed some problems with headpaint and added some chips and scaratches

Your model is already very good looking, but if you can paint some battle damages on the armor, it will be awesome!

Yeah, I can't really see the chips or scratches tbh, otherwise however the model looks amazing. I love the pose and paint-job. Are you putting this much effort into all of your Space Wolves?!

Also, I'd recommend painting the handle/grip of the boltgun too.

I`m not a fan of overwhelming chips (hello military modelling ) so I made them subtle. This is just a grey hunter, not a veteran, so there shouldnt be lots of chips - thats how I think. But they are there. You can see this on bigger pictures in my blog. If you have some nice pictures of really good demage on space marines for me to copy it could make me change my mind

Thanks Dave, I forgot about the handle. Gotta fix that. I think it should be black, right?

That's fair enough man, I don't blame you; could blemish your lovely paint job too! Although Grey Hunters are fairly Veteran (as are all Space Marines). But yes, I'd say black handle would be good. Many more to come right?

Hopefully. I`m going to build and paint next another grey hunter but just with bolter

Well, I finally finished my wolf
