Hi all

Wanted to post my completed Shield Captain on Jetbike. To save breaking the board with hilariously big images I've put them into a imgur post, with a little commentary;

It's probably my best model yet, after nearly a year back in the hobby, I really wanted to test myself to see what I could do. Although in all honesty, this has convinced me of the need to move away from my Citadel brushes, and start to look at better quality brushes. In all, I'd say this took me about 20 hours, as pieces were painted and assembled separately to avoid creating areas that I couldn't paint properly.

That said, not sure I'll spend 20 hours on every model, even if Custodes is a low model army. By the end I was just looking forward to completing him.

I'd love to hear any and all critiques on him, as I know I've got a lot of areas I can improve on.

Thanks in advance!

Moved out of the showcase forum due to no pictures being present in the OP. As per subforum rules:

3) This is a forum to actually show off pictures, so threads created here must contain at least one picture within the post itself. Simply posting a video or a link to another site without including a picture in the post is not acceptable, and threads like that will be moved to the regular painting and modeling forum.
