hey guys a friend of mine is getting into space marines, so I decided to paint up a colour test marine (his scheme is bronze and green)
what do you guys think?
note: this is about the general scheme, not my shoddy paint job.

Looking good as a general theme, I guess as this is a test the finished articles would be a bit tidier?

Only thing I might change is the boltgun's casing, I'd probably go for the green of the pads.. but thats a personal preference, nothing wrong with the brassy one you have now.

yep the finished article would look a lot tidier, its just the friend is expecting me to start work probably on Tuesday night and I wanted to test it first.
il see what he thinks of using a green case, at the moment it is actually brown thoe lol.

Scheme looks good to me, I actually prefer weapons to have different colors to the rest of the model.

Wow! That looks great, even though it was rushed. Is that Dwarf Bronze? I love the colour scheme! Thanks so very much! Oh, I'm the friend by the way.
