This is my first True scale/Primaris conversion the model used is a Mk 4 Tactical marine from Betrayal at Calth, it isn't my best paint job as my hands were a bit shaky at the time love to know what you think. https://imgur.com/a/nnwGu

The size looks good but i think the right leg is a bit out of line. It makes the crotch look a bit thrusty as well.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

I'd probably recommend just making one cut on the legs if you're going to reposition them. The multiple cuts just don't line up right within the same leg let alone between the two legs and groin and the joints are still fairly visible. I'd say try to cut right above the knee where it would be partly hidden and add to the thigh instead of the shin. You could also add a tabard from your bits box if you have any to cover up the groin joints as well if they're still obvious.

Making that style of truescale model is very difficult and I wasn't able to master it myself. I ended up mixing and matching terminator and regular marine parts for my project until the primaris came along.

Ah I see I just followed a tutorial that said to make 2 cuts in the legs the the shin and the upper leg which is why I did that

I totally understand and I've seen the same tutorials. It might be better to start out a bit slower until you get the hang of blending and positioning the various parts (I unfortunately never was able to). Cutting at the knee and adding just there hides potential imperfections a bit better than the shin. YMMV.

Ok thanks for the advice, this was a test model that will probaly never see any use in a game but I may try it again and do that instead

Ok so i have bought a single primaris intercessor to use for a size comparison and turns out my conversion is a bit smaller than him, here's the size comparison https://imgur.com/qlCcKZK
