What else I have been up to

My first Desert Support Marine is finished!



All except chapter marking of course, but that's not happening until the very end I suspect.

This was a very nice break from the green, and I'm very happy with the final product. It does take a while to get the colors where I want them, but the effort is worth it. Plus, I only NEED to do 5 of these guys. I suspect a few more than that will end up in this scheme now though >.>....

And a quick comparison shot:



You can see the tie ins very easily. The weapon colors are identical, and the black shoulder pad rim and chest eagles. Basing is the same as well. A more subtle tie in is the battle damage. They are both done with the exact same colors, Catachan Green for the initial damage marking and bleached bone to highlight.

Hope to do more SoMs this fast in the future.

It took me awhile to figure out what SoM was; I kept coming up with the Sound of Music, but Julie Andrews wouldn't quite cut it in the 41st millenium...probably

The Desert Guy turned out REALLY cool; a much different effect than his Green Compatriots, but they still feel right together. WELL DONE!

New project for a painting contest at the local store. I've got like a month or two for this guy, so I'm trying a few new things out.

Some progress on the Chaplain:

The head is finished, but that's it. I've gotten some more work since this photo done, but just more of the bone color. Nothing super exciting, and my ambient light faded on me when the sun went down.
C&C welcome as always, and more photos will be inbound as I finish more on the model!

VERY NICE! The way you did the Skull REALLY makes the mini. Actually, it's that I REALLY lile your style & technique. My only critique would be the muzzle would have looked better if you had drilled out the barrel. Otherwise, VERY, VERY WELL DONE!
