Hey guys been a member here awhile and decided to post some of my army in progress.

This is a complete rhino (only needs matte coating)

both are very useful, I will be using them on my marines when i get to weathering them.

CandC welcome also if anyone has a tutorial for greenstuffing Ultramarine icons that would be great
Cheers

I would recommend a little hard lining(not tons, but something to define edges) and shading in the recesses of panel joints. By defining each piece of armor you will add alot of depth to the look.

I like the weathering.

I like the weathering.

Yea some high lighting is missing to this nice model. A light drybrush with a brighter version of the base color will fix it. But you will need to redo the weathering on some places after the high lighting.

There are some highlights but they are very subtle. My method is basecoat of mordian blue then a drybrush of ultramarine blue and a wash of asurman blue over the whole model. The look I am going for is a dark dirty and gritty army. I think the highlights might come out better when i take pics of my troops.

Looking good.

A couple of things:

1. Drill out the exhaust pipes (w/ a dremel or what not). They are an eyesore as is.

2. Since you like weathering why not some wear as well? You can get metallic pens and apply similar to the weathering stick. Use a metallic pen to hit the hard edges in paces to get a chipped/worn paint effect.

Top notch weathering.
Really good job. Could use a highlight or two.
Try a sharper knife when cutting plasticard.

As mentioned, drilling out the exhausts is a small detail that makes a huge difference in appearance.

The tactical badge on the top hatch appears to be one piece, which might interfere with opening the hatch...

The weathering is very nice. Overall, a solid effort.
