hi @ all,

here you can see my wip terminator and i had a lot of problems...
the mini took 10 hours and i am so disaffected about the effects that i did!
i dont know how i can paint the white and yellow better and the damage on the armor looks terrible for me!!!!
i am painting now for 2 years and my painting- skill stagnates since a half year....

pls give me some advise and some tips to raise my skill!!!!

best regards from germany

Hi,

The yellow looks good to me. You have depth with the darker recesses, same with the armour. Perhaps some more highighting on the blue but that's up to you.

The white has some grey as well, looks great. What is it that you don't like? Do you want finer recceses with the black like the GW terminators?

Hi,

thank you very much for your answer!

I dont like the yellow/white because it looks so unrealistic it looks like a painted mini and not like a real brushed metall armor hand or sth like that.
Same with the white head...

The mini looks definetly to unrealistic..

And the white is not clean enough

Out of curiosity why is he so far back on the base? Do you have some special basing planned for it?

Personally I think it works perfectley seeing as they would repaint the armor after ever battle so he could just be freshly going into battle.
