For those of you folowing my work ( )here are the follow ups to the model i posted on here a few weeks ago

some of my converted Guardswomen, for any (constructive, as I am a Delicate little flower ) critisms.


Medic


Plasma Gunner


Trooper



And My Karsin Sarge.

For my first use of green stuff I am Pretty pleased with them, (my lack of painting ability not withstanding)

I think they look great! Quick question.. are you waterinf down your paint?? before any paint hits the models it should be watered down.

From a modelling point of view, these are great. From a painting point of view, they need plenty of work. As said before, thinning your paints helps. try using a smaller brush as well, because in some places it spills over and in some places it doesn't make it.

Think your paints dude, they're obscenely thick.

Agreed with the above; water down the paint.

Now, these have some interesting poses, and I like them all. The Visor on the special weapon guy could use a tad bit of practice, but for a first stab it's pretty good. The fingers on the guy giving the "eyes on" hand signal seem a bit long but it -is- GW after all. The Medic bag, if you're going to keep it that bulky on the future ones, should be shifted towards his back.

M.

Thanks for the tips.

Ive never thought of watering down my paints, but now you mention it yeah that would be a great idea.

two quick things, someone mentioned the scale of the fingers, only the index is sculpted, i had a feeling the "Pointer" finger was a bit long but didn't feel confident in shortening it so made the other finger to scale (the hand is the same one from the medic).
And secondly yeah the visor was suposed to be goggles but after a fair few atempts that was the best i could manage.

oh and Infantryman i'd never noticed the eyes on thing your right it does look like that,(that gesture is the british version of giving someone the finger)

thanks guys!
