Looks pretty Kick Hynnie to me.Great weathering effect. I have just one observation though(now this just may be from the washout on the pics), this mini seems very dark to me and it looks like a lot of detail is lost due to that darkness. I would suggest mabye doing a few of the bionics in brass, not an overwhelming amount, but like one of the arm rods and one of the leg rods or the cog wheels. just to add a little pop.

**Klausmasterflex**

After the initial model, many commented that the scheme was overall too dark.

Here are some revisions.

**Empchild**

Lock that down because WOW!

**Nicorex**

Very Awsome! Really makes him stand out, without being garish.

**Lord of Kaith**

Wow! Great stuff! I love it!

**Master Melta**

What is the gear-y emblem on your Vulkan's back pack?

That's just a sort of cool mechanicus standard. All my sergeants have them too.

I also have repainted the model since, lol.

I've changed the eyes to red and removed the red stripes- now they are white again.

I'll try to get some more painting in tomorrow, or even tonight!

**Disjointed Entity**

That looks exquisite!

**Rose_Mountainz**

Very impressive

**Miss Dee**

Got the cogs and bits thanks mate.

**physcosamatic**

awsomeness!!!!

**Vlad-X7**

your marines deserve a big fat awesome sticker of awesome-sauce. The revised version stands out a lot more, though if you did scouts, the darker version may be quite appropriate for their sneaky style.

superb blog mate.

**Imperial Monkey**

Wow, the vulkan conversion is amazing...I don't know why but the shield makes me think of "The Golden Compass" by Phillip Pullman

Its almost a shame to paint them, they look kinda cool with the grey plastic with gold watch bitz on top!

Great stuff

**Pete_scete**

Hmmm im not sure but theres something missing from the paint job.
Well imo there is but that could be the way i see them in my heads way diffrent.

keep it up i want more

I meant quite literally what is it made out of???

One bit, from which kit, many bits, etc...

**Klausmasterflex**

my mistake!

They are made from chaos champion back standards- I just trimmed off the arrows into gears.

Ok So I made a lightbox to get some better shots, but I really need to invest in some lamps to brighten it up.

**Disjointed Entity**

It looks good, but I think maybe the cog should be highlighted in bronze?

**Imperial Monkey**

Yeh, a bronze cog would look cool!

**Limbo**

Looks awesome! How long does it take to paint one marine like that?

**Hits_the_spot**

Fantastic work, love the dirty weathered look, nice chipping on the paint.

**Ghost in the Darkness**

Sweetness

I'll consider it, maybe I'll try it on the next one.

Tough call, the first was sort of 'experimental' so I didn't keep track. Right now I'm doing 2 more simultaneously- they've taken about 5 hours or so thus far, but aren't even close to completion.

Thanks- it's a serious labor of love.

Truth.

**Brother Bartius**

Nice to see your painting is keeping up with your converting skills.

Lovely work.

Can we have some more please?

**Carlsson**

Congratz, the model look beautiful! nice job!

the hours you spent is well worth them all!

**Klausmasterflex**

Update: I finished two more models, though none are based.

**Miss Dee**

thoes guys are going too put my IH to shame.

**Empchild**

They look awsome klaus! Will be a great army to see when it'c completely done I imagine.

**Munch Munch!**

Good work!

**Brother Grevious**

Did I see guitar strings??!! MAY THE METAL GODS GRACE SHINE UPON THEE!!!

**Vlad-X7**

I don't collect space marines, but i am sorely tempted by these models... you don't realise how agonising this is!
It's a real pleasure seeing your work - thank you for sharing it with us!
