Those are great bud. I love the skin tones.

Augh! Those look excellent. Armour is fantastic, I always love the way you do your eyes, really satisfying shades. The skin is very good as well and that standard is far better than anything I could produce!

Any thoughts to adding a stripe of red face paint on him? It would help draw the eye there, and mimic the scheme on his helmet? Think Thor in the arena scene in the new movie.

Only other criticism is that on the skull shoulder pad on the right eye socket you have an armor ding in the base color, but not the skull. But that’s some minor ocd nonsense. These guys are awesome.

Really bloody good! I love the way you paint grey, do you use an airbrush at all to get the gradient? because if I could paint grey like that with a brush i'd be space wolving it up! :-)

The helmetless models add a great touch of character. Marvelous painting.

Well, I've been wanting to do some Carcers for a while. This might just tip me over the edge...

They look great dude!

Your painting always amazes me. Beautiful work bebop.

Great work BB.

THanks all for the feedback <3 Nerdy, half the base coat is airbrushd, the other by hand

heres the next WIP for the slow grow: the storm talon still a ton to do on this very detailed model:








cheers

That is outstanding. Pure brilliance, so smooth and crisp. Just beautiful.

Wow, great job. That canopy just demands your attention when you look at it. Fantastic job! I cant wait to see more.

And that window was done with a brush... and is barely discernible as such. Fantastic work.

Guys thanks <3. It was fun to paint but challenging. im glad though that it came out well because it woulod have been major surgery to fix it or change it.

@ Iceangel heya man, welcome, dont think ive had the pleasure. thanks for your interest and encouragement,

Guys, heres a bit more wip progress...just a quick update, the model is almost done and ill post finals soon,.,,

I have been here a long time Bebop, just not always motivated enough to chat. I like the kill count on the side of the cockpit, btw.

Love everything about these Bebop !
Excellent gradient shading, nice chipping and weathering and cool looking lens and edge highlights, you have it all nicely balanced and intelligently / coherently done

Those marines are table top standard!!! Holly poop.

Lovely, lovely work.

hey all many thanks <3 !! i appreciate the enouragement! I forgot to address previously, @ whalemusic, that suggestions about the red face paint is a good one and actually i will be using the idea on the next batch of skinned primaris.

The storm talon is finished and here are the final pics, posting to showcase as well so forgive the spam cheers guys!

Flying sharks! The horror of it all!

That thing is fantastic. A real showpiece.

Beautiful work, The colour transitions are so smooth it's amazing.

He blue is really striking on the otherwise muted scheme. I dig it even if it isn’t the best tactical choice. But the are space super human sharks so eff it. Only issue is you have the top piece of the tail on backwards. Flaps go in the back.

Absolutely brilliant.

hey all thanks very much!!


@ whaley. Sadly i know....I hated the proper way its meant to so i figured id just turn it around. No science necessary lol. Then about 2 days in i realized i was edge highlighting flaps on the wrong side of the tail and i bust out laughing my ass off for about 5 minutes. Its too funny. But still, if the flaps were correct i think the shape is more streamlined. With its proper placement it looks like a toaster. With the reverse it looks more like super attack copter. LOL

Lovely work again, BB.

Wow, that is stunning!

I am really impressed by your methodical colorong of shades of grey. Not sure if its 50 but when you hit the 50 model count thar will be exciting.

Excellent stuff Bebop.

thanks you guys appreciate the interest!

FINALLY i have finished the 10 man reiver squad holy effffff.....what a project. never again. im not much for army painting as is and this was labor intensive. happy to have finished it though!!!!



im not sure about this pic, i think it faded for some reason when i overwrote from gimp and then procreate...i may try again with a better upload and photo later. we shall see!!!

cheers guys

Amazing squad! When I first saw that camo pattern, I was put of, but it really grew on me. Nice touch with the company champion power sword on the sergeant! Brilliant painting, really.

Beautiful looking squad Bebop. Outstanding work all-round.
