Started a terminator squad, and first up was the Sergeant. had to experiment a bit, for those of you who have seen my previous imperial fist post I'm doing 5th company.
Aye or nay?

Very nice but I see a couple of mould lines that ruin it a bit.

Looks good. You could also do a darker yellow and highlight in your main color if you wanted, just depends on how bright you want it.
Also, the entire top of the hammer has a mold line, which detracts significantly. I'd make sure to clean those up on future models.

Looks fine. The back of the terminator's shield seems a little too bright for where it is. Dark yellow wash on that maybe? Mould lines like everyone else says. I'd suggest adding a blue/red colour to the wires connecting the hammer to the terminator as it really helps bring out more colour in a mini.
My 2 cents.

Thanks guys for the comments, much appreciated. I fixed a few things. The shield I repainted and washed so it's darker and fits better with the model. I removed the mold lines on the hammer, I was completely unaware of mold lines on the top of the hammer. Oops. I removed those and repainted/washed. I fixed his helmet, the Bottom part is suppose to be silver not yellow, so I repainted that. The little optical scopes or whatever on his head i repainted the rings silver around the little opticals. Did some extra highlights. As far as the wires, I like them black. I wanted my models to have a worn / grungy look. I have a certain appreciation for that "cartoonie" or "mystical" look to models, but it's not my style. I want my models to look realistic, not the other way around.
Here are some quick photos of the new work Ive done. Thanks again. Automatically Appended Next Post: Sorry about the sideways pictures, but you get the idea
