I have finally finished my first metal model.
Comments are welcome.
My Vulcha boyz are getting stronger and stronger






More images in my gallery.

Very good chequerboarding and good coverage. I think it would be far better complimented by lighter photos, tis very dark atm.

This is your first metal model? I'm impressed. See, this is why I don't post pictures of my own work on Dakka.

Very nice.

Very good, especially for a first metal guy. I like the chipping. My only comment is that the lightning bolt 'go button' should be a bright go-fast colour, like red or yellow

Ive always liked the Zagstruk mini. Its pretty dynamic and very cool looking. I will never use storm boyz, but Ive considered buying him just to paint the guy.,

Nice work on the paint job, you should be proud of that one man

Thanks for all comments

I think about that but this scarab red wins, because of darker scheme of this model, but yes, shiny yellow or something will be more "orkish"

Yes i know, i retake photos again with better light

Looks awesome! Great realistic tones and checkerboarding.

awesome paintjob,
How did you do the skin?

Thank you
I try wet blending for the first time. I use green range from Orkhide shade to goblin green (5 different tones mixed with this colours)

Damn,
It turned out beautiful, gonna try it too someday

It's nice, very good for a first attempt. The only thing that I could comment on is that there is a lot of metal or grey on the model and he kinda runs into his base.

Maybe if the basing was a different tone? Could just be the photos though.

I have retake original pictures, maybe it looks better now, i still learning with my camera and miniature photos.
Enjoy for the second time
Hope that is not boring for you

Great looking model. GJ

golly thats pretty WAAAAAGGH

Looks incredible. Nice job painting the rocket.

Ooh, pretty good. New photos show it off a lot better

You've got a pretty darned good paint job there.
It's a kind of shame, actually.

Every position, every picture, I look at it and all I see are mold lines screaming at me.

Leaving the mold lines on the model has really detracted from your otherwise excellent paint job. In the future, I would suggest removing them with a file.

Thank you for comment.
I know, but unfortunately i saw this after paints was done Maybe one day i repaint this model
But i must say, that i start to hate metal models, assembling was pure pain in the ass
