elijahdprophet Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I don't think my skills would make the cut in a painting competition, but I enjoy doing it and figured I would get some feedback from the experts. This is Company Captain Avon from my DIY chapter Manticore Legion. I had never painted a SM figure before the Black Reach set came out. I am going for a mid level tabletop quality on these guys, let me know what you think. I still need to hit him with a shot of dull coat, but it has been raining all day and likely will be through the weekend. Also, I left the banner scroll blank because I don't have a steady enough hand to paint clean letters, any advice?

goalie4hire Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I like the look of this figure. I like the way the colors react to one another, and how the sword really stands out. I like to practice script on paper a few times before I put the brush to plastic. Maybe a thin inner line of white on the sword to make it really crack. Othet than that, I think it is a great job Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147477-black-reach-captain/#findComment-1710648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahdprophet Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Thanks for the comments! I think you are right about adding a bright white line to make the sword jump out more. As far as the text, I might buy a brush specifically for text so I can keep a good fine point on it.

Scar Weaver Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 There is nothing wrong with that mini. You picked out most of the details very well. I maybe would thin your paints a little, but other than that it looks good. Avon is definitely an...interesting name for him though. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/147477-black-reach-captain/#findComment-1714388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
