@Capitansolstice:
I'm sure you can! Just need a right amount of dedication, stubborness and practice.
I'm jealous - that's a damn good weather for that time of a year... It's about 13 Celsius!

@El Vic:
Indeed. I'm not good at lenses, since never painted one yet but seems like I've got a precedent now

@Rogue Wolves:
Stop talking and go paint! j/k

@Rawson:
Thank you.
Yes, the damn lens needs more love... I agree, that OSL isn't an option for that case (may be just a slight highlight on the outer rim), so I'll try to do it classical way.

I agree with your call on the OSL. There are some great tutorials on painting lenses, btw. If you've never done one, you could always check them out...

Yep, there are... This one seems to be a nice guide.
It looks like painting lens is quite similar to painting drops of blood, like I did on this model.

somehow i would be far more frightened to do OSL then a lense effect... but then i haven´t painted a mini for a while...all that scratchbuilding keeps me from it...darn...talk about beeing between a rock and a hard place

Hey guys, sorry to be so long between replies here as life has been extremely time consuming recently. Congrats to all who are done their entries! If you could all PM the dakka gallery links to WIPs and finished pictures, that would be great, as I am attempting to get ahead on the voting threads. My entry has barely progressed, with merely the addition of another arm. Hopefully I will get some time next weekend to finish it off!

You guys have 11 days left. I'm sure you can make it

You say that now.

darn... no one got anywhere beeing honest...i see there is still plenty time...argh...

11 days... well i can make that even though i havent started

11 days... So much yet so little
I hope everyone will finish their stuff by the time, otherwise, extention doesn't sounds like a bad idea to me...

And the new lens for the Heavy guy:

Oh you will be fine! I did mine in 1 hour!

I don't know if I'll be done in time.

Ok I have one done. But I have barely started painting my other submission. I hope I will finish in time.

Thanks to Rawson, posted a great comment in my P&M Blog. Most of the changes I made on this guy where things that Rawson suggested I should do. I didn't do one of those things 'cause I'm lazy but I did everything else and now he looks much better.

Thank you very much Rawson!





Close up on the face. His eyes are meant to look unpainted, gives him a mysterious look. (their not unpainted just a really dark red).


close up on the shield.


Back


Close up on the cloak.


Not a very good pic of the spear tip,


Weathering on his back pack mount thing that I'm quite proud of.


Thanks again Rawson!

Hope you all like him!

me likes! he truly catches the whole sparta vibe...!

tho being a noob with ultras, i have to ask why the "V" is upside down...or is it an omega done a bit more archaic?

Glad I could be of service

How do you do the buzz cut hair? That looks fantastic!!!

That looks really nice, I love the weathering!

The deadlines... yesss.... I, obviously, won't finish mine in time.. so good luck to all who will!

i think now it is high time that we really think hard about stretcthing the time limit...

No way, we've had a ton of time and still have 10 days!!
Chummmoooowwwnnn boys!

Come on Vamanos everybody lets go!
Come on lets get to it!

My Completed submission. Enjoy

Nice!

hey Vik the upside down V looking /\ doesnt have anything to do with Ultramarines, it was the symbol the spartans put on their sheild, i think its an S but i am only guessing on that

See, you guys say "plenty of time" but I, for instance, am home visiting family for the next week with no access to any of my gaming stuff.

oh I see
