Clippers and sandpaper can fix that

Ha ha ha!

Ah, marine mini conversion, just like the old RT days!

One photography tip Hazz, when showing off your plastic surgery awesomeness, lower the camera to miniature height. You are shooting at a downward angle, and it's difficult to see the leg, it looks like a stump from that angle. Get down

Ok will do! I'm taking pics after I post this lets say update within the hour! So thats 25 minets!

*looks at his watch...*

Hi guys,
I've managed to get a lot of painting done today! Finished the armour done the face twice (not that happy with it tho I guess that’s what test models are for eh?) does anyone have tips/tuts for painting faces cause I couldn’t find a decent one on you tube. He’s also now a Blonde Ultramarine! All that is left is gold, silver, decals (as I am having squad helrary), base then weathering and 2 weeks to do that in! Very pleased on the amount that I was able to do today. For the sergeant marking ~I wanted to mix old school (the stripe down the helmet) and new school (so white outline to mark him out as a vet). I need to tidy it up a bit more but apart from that that looks ok.

Without further ado I present Veteran Sergeant Theron.

Thanks for looking and reading now I present like 30 odd pics...

HAZZER.

Great to see the progress shots (and the camerawork is better too!) - what's next then?

edit-double posted!

Thanks graven!

at first i thought the pics showed that you painted the face and gun in bronze...then i realized it was just black primer with a way too warm lighting LOL...

then my next near heart attack came when i saw the orgyn flesh was pic ... looked to me as if you´ve melted the face LOL...fourtunatly the later pics all put these first errors on my part into perspective^^

looks like a good start...

Thanks alot vik!

they marine is going well, i feel the leg is off.. but it is excellent.

Thanks alot panda! I've been getting somemore painting don to him today so should have anouther update tomrow!

looking out for that

lol

Hi guys,
I've been getting lots of work done this week on Veteran Sergeant Theron! Re-painted the face for a third time and finally looks ok! I am a lot happier with it now, tho the eyes are a bit big! Nearly all of the metallic’s are done now as well the free hand on the helmet has been tidied up and looks loads better all that is left is the purity seal, markings, gold clean up, weathering/ chipping and the base! Because most of the mod was done at school I wasn’t able to take progress pics (its not very wise to take a £300 camera to school), but I'll put down the recipes instead down below (they are mostly the old colours with a few new ones mixed in);

Silver

Basecoat: Boltgun Metal

Wash:Badab Black

Highlight: Mitheral Siver, then Chainmail

Gold

Basecoat: Calthan Brown

Highlight: Burnished Gold then Shining gold (may add in a wash tho)

Blonde hair

Basecoat: Calthan Brown

Highlight: Snakebite Leather then add Dheneb Stone and some Bad Moon Yellow to the mix for a final highlight.

Face

Basecoat: Tallarn Flesh

Wash: Ogryn Flesh

Re-aply Basecoat and layer up Tallarn Flesh with more and more Dheneb Stone.

The red and white stripe down the helmet was Blood Red and White Scar.

Thanks for reading and subbing!

Note:I forgot to take the right hand side of the modle in my glee.

HAZZER.

i had a look up close to your model just now... i think there seems to be a slight assembly error on the shoulder arm section... it seems the arms are not glued to the right spots...

and atm i think the bionic leg looks a bit akward in its position... tho this could be fixed with a bit of warmth... lamplight for instance... and you could bend it a bit if you are careful... or...what exactly are your plans to the base? then maybe the running stance will be more in perspective...

oh and while i am at it... i think atm yon sarge is suffering from a mild sunburn... tho i dunno how to fix that...


hope i didn´t ruin your night now...

No Facebook just did! Got a new reward system thing where you can buy stuff with it and someone said that they had 450,000,000. As for the face I'll do somthing. What do you mean about the arms? They have been reposed and sculpeted.

well mostly it is because of the shoulderpads... they are a bit far apart from the actual joints...at least i know my own marines have them more closer to the shoulders... if that´s understandable...

as for FB... ??? i guess i then have minus points...LOL...

Ha ha ha! Tbh I've only just got FB, As for the arms/shoulder pads I was trying to do it so he had his arms kinda out becking anouther challange while still gravely woundeed.

ah... i see... a manly pose then...ok... see that is always good to get into your thoughts

"Hi, which way to the beach?"

yeah something like that...

LOL.
As for the gold it relly needs a wash to help to define it a little atm it looks like a blob of gold. :(

well...i assumed you are still pre wash so ... later on...yes of course...!

What are we talking about me or the mdle both have yet to have a wash.

well... i wouldn´t dream of suggesting that you might be in need of a wash...also... for security measures... i have the the British Channel between the both of us...and mind you the north sea still has lots of fresh air for such a special need...

HA ha ha!!!! roumors have it that there will be a Eroupeain criss meeting about it!
