So I took this old Ork Warboss from the Assault on Black Reach set and decided to paint it up quickly for my son's ork army. I put about 1.5 hours into this fig.
Let me know what you think?
BTW.. These AoBR orks are getting harder to find for the cheap. I saw some selling for $15 on ebay, when before Dark Vengeance came out, you could pick them up for 2-3$.
EDIT:
Still pics added on post 4.

Hello! While I'd love to view your video, on my home computer I am unable, for some reason, to view videos at all. However, Dakka users generally prefer pictures over videos. You're welcome to post whichever you like, of course, but I think you'll find pictures get you more positive (and a higher number of) responses.
That being said, from what I can see your model looks pretty good!

I've been regretting not snagging more of these when the market was completely saturated - you can't even pick up individual powerklaws from most bits sellers at the price these bosses were frequently going for. Too late now...
That aside, I'm impressed you knocked this guy out in a mere 90 minutes. I'm not entirely sold on the turquoise hair, honestly (same with the few, tiny spots of bright, almost neon green) - the color is uncharacteristically vibrant, as well as being a bit sparsely applied - but I love the otherwise exclusively dirty, muted palette.
I agree with Jimsolo, though, that pictures are generally preferable for showing off models. I'd actually advise against using a white background, though. What you really need is more light, both in the sense of "brighter" and "more sources (from various angles)" - the colors will come through more clearly and you won't have stark shadows obscuring half of the model. Simply adding a white background won't help without additional lighting and once adequately lit, softer backgrounds (blues and grays, mottled or in a smooth gradient) tend to result in better pictures than stark, highly reflective white. With a second lamp (or some daylight), your current background will serve admirably.
