grim0thy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 As the topic title states, this is my first Marine constructed and painted in seven years. I gave up gaming/modelling/collecting, but I've always kept in touch, so to speak, through the Black Library books. However recently I lost my job and decided to have a crack at modelling, and maybe building up a 1000 point army and playing some games, whilst I've got some free time. Without further ado, my first Marine in seven years! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/brokencircle/DSC00027.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/brokencircle/DSC00028.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/brokencircle/DSC00031.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/brokencircle/DSC00032.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/brokencircle/DSC00033.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/brokencircle/DSC00034.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/brokencircle/DSC00039.jpg I took these with my phone camera, so they're not really amazing, and you lose some of the more subtle nuances in the paintwork, but hey. I would love some C&C please. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154585-first-marine-in-7-years/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Vespasian Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Nice job. The yellow is excellent and I like the scheme. Welcome back to the hobby by the way.

grim0thy Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks. I've been looking at the model a bit more and there's so much room for improvement it's a bit ridiculous, but it'll get better over time and practice. Given that, it's a million times better than the old SMs I painted years ago.

Ranulf_Nightrunner Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looks like you havent lost any skill over time, looks great, of course you'll always notice stuff you're not happy with but i think it looks great. Nice job, and as Vespasian said, welcome back, i'm in a similar position to you, just havent started painting yet! One thing i would say is that most of the photos are a bit blurry so its hard to make out what areas you think need improving.

grim0thy Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks very much for your comments. I appreciate it. I also note what you say about the camera skills! Hah, unfortunately it's my phone camera. I don't have access to a digital anymore sadly. Good luck with getting back into painting! I hope you have as much fun as I'm having at the moment.

grim0thy Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Thank you very much. The robes are from the DA sprues - my GS skills are woefully lacking at the moment!
