This mini is like so many other (almost 100% of my army) a used one, bought cheap and over painted.
I didnt know I would like it so much and put work into it, had I known I would bought a new one as this one was hideously over painted and the guy used freaking chewing gum to help keep the harness in place!?!

So after multiple attempts to acetone of the paint and scrape the paint from gaps and also try to scrape of the chewing gum I gave up after getting rid of most of the things by sheer force of will.
I just started to paint over the damned thing...and fell in love with the model. Sculpted up a combi flamer for it as well and a base.
The result would have been better if the mini was clean underneath but what the heck.
Have a look and see what you think.

It looks like great work, but the pics aren't doing him any favours.

I'd suggest zooming out a little, and trying to get some shots from a more level angle. At the moment, he's just a mass of highlights.


I'm guessing though that at actual size he'd look pretty good. The red on the pincers is possibly a bit much with the hazard striping, and the weapon barrels need drilling.

The glowy effect on the cabling is an interesting touch, and the NMM gold on the flamer barrel is stunning.

Me likie! Me likie long time! However I'm used to blurry pictures :-).

If this is a submission entry, definatly listen to isaniak, drill the barrels, otherwise, have fun with your nicely painted model.

I like the model I think it looks really nice GJ on the model.
