You need to find yourself some jewellers files and fine sandpaper to clean up your greenstuff work then use smaller amounts of greenstuff and do the cloth in sections using the tip of a hobby knife to smooth the Greenstuff. Its better to get a smooth finish when it's still drying to clean it up afterwards as even the finest sandpaper will leave scratchmarks.

I find cloth the hardest thing to sculpt with greenstuff but like all sculpting you need to look at real life coats and cloaks to see how the cloth folds hang.

The best tutorial I've seen for beginers is here

Hope this helps, keep up the good work!

**Leigen_Zero**

Gah! beaten to the 'someone watches Hellboy' post(s)!
Looks good though

I found a good way to smooth greenstuff is if you have the GW sculpting tool, wet the 'spoon' end and move it in circles over the area, applying a very light pressure, works a treat on large flat areas!

Thank you guys! I'll work on smoothing.

BTW,anyone got opinion about arm?

**BLACKHAND**

about the arm..

can't see the first link, and the third one is a bit too x-men.

Go with the second option I think. Do you you have the model with the arm so you can cut it off and mount it on your model? it would be easier than copying it with greenstuff

**Sir Motor**

Link dead?
Ok this.

same picture.

I don have any models. So I have to work with green stuff and bitz.

**BLACKHAND**

still no pic mate, if you don't have models to cut up then maybe go for the third option as it will be the most straightforward.

I was thinking maybe you could model a psycannon that was grafted onto the inquisitor's arm though, it would be good in game terms

**Sir Motor**

Ok,How about this?
http://www.4gamer.net/games/042/G004220/20090409027/

Veteran Shotgun team done!

They go with melta.

Front
Ammo case on right shoulder. Its from space marine.

Back

Sergent. He is demolition specialist!!! He carry a lot bombs!!
Head is from old? sentinel pilot. I add scar on his face.

back. Melta on back.

C&C are welcome. Really welcome.

BTW,is there any tutorial to take good photo?

**BLACKHAND**

saw it this time, its cool but I still like the second option best, looks very corrupted.

Like the seargant, the reverse hold on the knife is very cool.

You might want to try putting white paper behind and under your models when taking pics and I use two lamps pointing from different directions, I am sure ther is better photo advice somewhere on Dakka though.

**Mellon**

This looks good. I like your creativity and the small stories about the characters.

Good luck!

**Sir Motor**

So,My "Count as Marbo" almost done!

Back is still problem....looks bad indeed. What should I do? :(
Anyway its first time I use green stuff. There was alot to learn.

Back ground

Lt.Heinrich Sprenger
He was Platoon Commander. During mission,he were possessed by daemonic sword and he lost his eyes and all face skin.
After that,He work as assassin for inquisitor in D-72.

**Sir Motor**

Undercoated.
So....looks little bit better.

Anyway,C&C is welcome!
Yes please....

**CommissarKhaine**

Like the model. What really would improve (or have improved, sicne you've underciated him already) the back, woul be a belt; most coats have a belt around them, which would add some detail. it's easy to make as well: roll out a bit of geenstuff on a flat surface, flatten it to an appropriate thickness, let it dry for 10-15 mins, and cut out the belt shape. Then you just need to gs the loops where the belt attaches to the coat.

**BLACKHAND**

Looking good, its a pretty nice first attempt at GS work and the weapon arm came out well but I think you could have added more GS tendrils and ridges going onto the blade to look more like the pic. Keep it up!

**Sir Motor**

Thx for advice.
I'll try them when I'm motivated to modeling :p

Anyway,I've tried to paint him.

What do you think about it?
I've tried to looks like he wear black-leather coat.
And left arm is mutated.

C&C is welcome!!! PLEASE!

**BLACKHAND**

Paint job needs a wash to bring out the creases but the colour sheme is great!

**phantommaster**

Could you post a picture of all your models fro m this army in one picture please.

BTW, they look good so far!!

**Sir Motor**

I'll try.
Mayby badab black?

I'm modeling them. So not all model is done. And roughly painted.
But If you insist,I can show painted veterans.

**Sir Motor**

Hi

Long time no post.

Anyway,I finnaly decided guards man main color.

Bit too blight? But its good on board.
And we are Inquisition. No need to be hide!!

I've tried to paint Mark of Inquisition

Its really first time to try free hand paint. So far so good IMO.

And Psyker Battlesquad.

I've tried to make them look like unhealthy. I used Deneb Stone.

Tell me what you think. C&C really welcome.

**BLACKHAND**

Looking good Motor, I still think they need a wash to give it a bit of depth. The paint job can still be bright as you can highlight with a mix of blood red and mechrite to make it pop.
What are you taking your pics with, they seem a little blurry, even so the freehand inquisition symbol looks really good!

**Sir Motor**

Thx for comment!
Yeah,I'm wanting to make depth. I'll try.

I'm using same camera from first post.
I don know why but it become always blurry.

I bought 10 Ratlings. 5 of them is 5th edition model. 5 of them is old model!!!
And I bought Inquisitor,Commander,Arbietes.....both are rarer models.......

Now I'm painting chimeras and Ratlings.
I'll upload it soon!

**The Fallen Raven**

I love them psykers.

**Sir Motor**

I painted Pysker's fire.(other parts are WIP)

Tell me what you think.

**BLACKHAND**

Dude! The flames are fantastic! Like the glow in the eyes as well, if all your psykers are getting a paintjob like that then they are gonna scare the crap out of your opponents when you drop em on the table

**ShadowAngel159**

Freakin' epic so far. I always love seeing Inquisitorial armies (except Witch Hunters

).

Keep up the awesome work.
btw, I really like the flames on your psyker

**Commissar Agro**

Nice stuff, I love the count as sly marbo.
Love the blue flames on the psyker. whole PBS is great.
Nice primas psyker.
Great army, keep up the good work

**Sir Motor**

I'm now working on Chimeras. 5 of them.

I think I have problem with paint.
Anyway,Which color do you like?

Right is just mechrite red.
Left is Blood Red+Baal Red

Close up Blood Red + Baal Red.
I cant paint them flat. Especially, around track(?) mold.How do you guys paint Blood Red?
I paint mechrite red first,then blood red. brush is medium sized flat one.

Give me advice! :p

**BLACKHAND**

I use just mechrite red then a wash of devlan mud , then a higlight of mechrite red lastly a line highlight blood red
This gives a nice dull red , I think your blood red + baal red is a bright but thats just my opinion

If you are having trouble getting an even colour just use more layers of thinner paint, some times you will have to do up to three or more coats , I find my blood red is not good at covering either.

hope this helps

**Vorlon**

I like the one on the left. I tried the same color scheme and had great results with a base of Mech Red, followed by Scab Red/Red Gore (I forgot which) Blood Red, then a very heavy wash of Badaab Black.
