http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net This is a little blog to keep track of the work I'm doing on my 5th (I think) incarnation of Captain Fabian of the Ultramarines 3rd company.
Base model is the clampack Captain, with parts from the Ultramarines upgrade sprue.





And now for some blu tack mock ups!


All C&C welcome and encouraged.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8387986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8387986.page GMT
The sword arm looks a little awkward tucked in. Might just be the angle. Looks more like he’s about to throw a spear, or stab down if he’s reversed his grip. If the elbow were out a bit, I think it would look more natural.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8388160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8388160.page GMT This update is barely worth the forum space, but just shows that I do sometimes paint, first layer of Macragge blue applied to the body and head, the rest is merely undercoated. Hopefully more to come tonight.

Keep up the great work, and I hope to see him finished up in short order. I'll be following along here.

Take it easy.

One of these days I need to figure out who’s who of my captains. They all should have names and companies.

I'll be posting a small update tonight, but I don't know how much I'll get done, I'm swotting up my product knowledge for Shop Idol 2016 (http://www.isellmobile.co.uk/shopidol/standings# link if anyone is interested in seeing the initial voting phase, my last name is Mulligan for those who want to see where I am for my company.) So I have even more reduced time on my hands. I'm aiming to get at least a few washes done tonight, ideally finishing his blade. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8401911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8401911.page GMT th missus and I did each paint up a Burning Blade.

Next we have the mock ups, I'm going for a primarily black and red crest, but there will be between one and three small white stripes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8402992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8402992.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8406151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8406151.page GMT The only red on him at the moment, other than on the sword, is Mephiston red, with a wash of Nuln oil on his cloak.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8406623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8406623.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8406646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8406646.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8435930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8435930.page GMT GW is doing a 'Konvershun Kompetition' on Saturday, as part of a full day of Space Marines turning 30. I don't normally get to enter these things, what with the two kids and the full time job. But this one starts at 6. And I'm on the early shift, so I can make it!
Doesn't have to be painted, but I'll try to do some more as that could be a tie breaker. Here is the fully assembled, until I take him apart again to paint the banner, Captain Fabian!







The base is partially done, just needs icicles, bit of rock painting, and a Hive Fleet choosing for the warrior skull.

As always, any and all C&C.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8589261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/676830/8589261.page GMT
