the damned artificer Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 In 2008 I made this miniature from scratch http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/scratch-buildmarine54mm-front.jpg And painted him like this http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/spacemarineWIP.jpg I ended up loosing faith in the project as I didn't really like the paintjob I started, so now almost 4 years later I decided it was time for a revamp. First of I decided he needed some more detail on the shoulders, this was fortunately very easy thanks to forge world. Then I decided that it was about time he got a really shiny paintjob, so I enlisted him at the emperors favorite boy-scouts, the Imperial Fists! :D He then got send of to the artificers department for his new uniform colours... And here's the first picture of him, I am still working on him so no worries he is by no means done yet, but I felt I reached a stage where he was good enough for showing off and to get some opinions on him before I finish him. http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/DSCN0655.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/DSCN0658.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/DSCN0660.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/DSCN0666.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/DSCN0667.jpg http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/DSCN0669.jpg He is painted with my airbrush and I can make a quick and easy tutorial if anyone's interested in my recipe for the yellow. The armor chipping is done with the sponge technique and it still needs some highlights before it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the damned artificer Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 I think I spend around 2-3 months on building him, alongside other projects :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ;) Eventually I'd like to do more of this nature as it is endlessly rewarding to scratchbuilt/ sculpt in 54mm ;) I'd like to make a chaos marine and a terminator at some point... I need more spare time... and thanks for the other comments as well guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the damned artificer Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Miniature? What are you talking about? He's massive! Very impressive mate. My GS-Fu is not strong.... Practice makes perfect mate ;D So for those of you who's interested here's the recipe for my yellow on this guy: http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee354/SteffenSJensen/Random/Untitled-1.jpg It's all done with an airbrush. The model is basecoated in vallejo grey primer and given a pre highlight in white. Then a coat of vallejo flat yellow was applied followed by a layer of golden yellow for richness. Then the model was shaded with snakebite leather and highligted with vallejo flat yellow. That's it, the weathering is chardon granite sponged on.
