Don-Pino Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Sooo I painted my first marine (not my first mini), after settling on some colours. The scheme was ment to appear, as though the marine had been in the field for some time. The colours so he wouldnt be as visible as is normally the case for marines... Anyway, on with the show. http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss147/donpino/Marine.jpg Tried to weather him, wasnt easy at all... First attempt at it ever.. But Im not too unhappy all in all. -Pino C+C is very welcome. (Im aware that the picture could be edited better, but only had word to work with <_< ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loken of the 10th Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nice mini. If your gonna make a buck of them make them a DA successor. Maybe renegade? it could be the damage but he looks like he should be a renegade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VorpalPoolNoodle Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I very much like this. The green half looks kind of Raptor-y, so maybe some connection there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messanger of Death Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The overall miniature looks nice and clean but it is the ice blue lenses that get my attention. The contrast is just right in my opinion and really helps make the miniature stand out. As for the battle damage have you tried the sponge "bob" method? Also quick question... how do you do the montage picture? I haven't been able to find any easy to follow tutorials and was hoping for a simple description on how to do it.

Don-Pino Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thx for the comments. As for the montage, microsoft words was used. I simply copy-pasted pictures in there, and framed them in a textbox => That will make you able to move them around by dragging. It might not look as good as if it had been done in photoshop, but it serves its purpose. A renegade chapter sounds about right to me, still need to decide on a name though!

Typical Cricket Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nice work man! I like the colors - the green and black look very striking together. Great job with the weathering too! You forgot the backpack though - I bet you knew that, of course. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cartel Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I'm loving this mini! What is that accessory pack on his waist? Scouts? or custom... I'd make them a Salamanders successor. Great color scheme mate. -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Very creative colour scheme, and chance we can get a recipe for the white pistol holder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don-Pino Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Im well aware that the backpack thingie is missing... a friend gave me the model though, so I dont really think I have the right to complain about it :( The Bags are from the chaos marines pack, got some of those from another friend..! (perhaps someday I can make a army for free!!!). For the pistol holster, and the rest of his bags and such: Base Kommandeo khaki, then a wash of Devlan mud, followed up by highlighting with kommander khaki, highlights with bleached bones, and finally extremes with skull white (I used plenty though, so might be considered not so extreme). Thx for the weathering tip, Ill try it out on the next model. -Pino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
