Well, I did highlight it, and give it a grphon... sepia ink wash, so it is a little fancy

Ok few updated pics ( under flash I'm afraid)

Sage



Needs a bit of stuff on the tracks, right arm and weapon and some wiring. And the base. And some little things I just noticed

schank



Bit of tidying on the back ball, rokkits and tubes.
Now, I didn't think that any way I attached mini to base would stand up all that well to travel, all seemed a bit fragile to me, so I decided to magnetise it for ease of transport. It seems pretty good, but you may decide you want to glue it when you get it First attempt I switched the whole back ball for a spherical magnet, then had to try and remove it next day when I remembered why I didn't use those ones on anything before - as it picked up tweezers, chain and a couple of smaller magnets

I concur with the above 2 warbosses One of the great things about threads like this is watching various peeps improve over a fairly short period of time, adds extra interest to the whole thing.

I start work on whalemusic360 space marine.... Only thing is the wife has the camera.... stupid camera stealing wife.... But here what I've got so far. I'm using a set of assault marine legs to make look as if he is charging into battle, the torso with the wings and skull, the left arm is a power sword swept down and back behind, and a plasma pistol aimed straight ahead, used an old metal assault marine head with no helmet, gonna use a veteran sgt shoulder pad and deck it out with seals. Once I get the camera back I'll post a pic. My description might not do it justice. I really like how the pose turned out. Still in the beginning phase so still alot of detail work to be done. Not even primed yet. Will have more later after I get muy hands on that camera stealing succubus....... Oh Hi sweetie. I didn't realize you where.Hey what are you doing with that knife..No! Stop! I didn't mean it....Aaaaarrrggghhaaa....................................

LOL, guess thats one marine I can kiss goodbye now that poor schank got shanked

Seriously though that sounds great! I think I may have to do a second ork to make it more even, mine is a lame 'ol Black reacher. I've kinda wanted to try a not-green ork anyways.


Looks good SL, very un-BA. I assume you figured out the picture delema then?

WM almost done. I need to do some armor damage clean up (and fix the hand paint job), finish the weapon detailing and add some accessories to the marine for effect, dull coat and add some folage for the basing. Whew other than that it almost done.I call it the "leap". I'm hoping to be done tonight and in the mail on by the weekend. The model look better than the super close up picture.

on another note I am almost finished with Gits DW sargeant and I added another tropper for the squad as well. ( these are my test schemes for my Adepticon Lamentors army) .

I'll get a better pictures. All I have is my phone camera. Both can be seen in my Gallery. Thou they look better as thumbnails... hummmm.

Thanks.. Yours is now in my gallery...I have some accessorizing and some details to sort out. Over all I'm pretty happy with it. I wish My whites were overall better.
Nope: Way too close and detailed. They look great at normal close up. I have to get more pic. and practice with the blackberry phone camera.

Thanks for being patient.

Really nice job brother... be a perfect addition to my Mantis Warriors who as yet don't have any serious objectives! The Lamenters look really good too. Your yellow is coming along nicely. What color are you priming them?

BTW that assault cannon terminator is sweet.

That's what all my marines say when they still have ammo left over.

As soon as I get these done I'm on to a squad of Kommando's for thing 2. My first Orks in 12 years..

Sage - Just realised I need to do a bit more work on the face, but there's a chance it might get sealed over the weekend

schank - if your ghost can read this, same applies to yours, if you could get in contact and let me know who you want to get in in your place. Then get in contact as I believe there's some money waiting if we can prove survival after death

an00bis - sorry to be such a tease, but yours just decided to do it's own thing, still is for that matter So you just get a slighly different pile of bits
