JetfireUK Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi Folks, I recently found the joys of being able to strip the paint off old badly painted metal miniatures. The first figure I was itching to repaint was this Chaplain. Originally it was for the Black Templars but I fancied adding it to my growing ranks of Ultramarines. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271575.jpg What do you reckon? Edit: I've noticed that the golds still need a bit of work - but comments are always helpful.

David the Despoiler Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 The black, blue, parchment, freehand and metals all look fantastic. Well done! Even the skull shoulder-pad looks really niceonly done. My only quarrel is I don't like the way the mouth-piece turned out... It looks like he's got a really intense under-bite. However, that may be simply the sculptor's fault and not your own! Otherwise, nice blending and high lighting. Keep practicing the writing :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211241-ultramarine-chaplain/#findComment-2512980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks very much! The mouthpiece is the mold itself but it's not that bad in real-life. Script is very tricky but each time I try things seem to get that little bit easier.

David the Despoiler Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Indeed! I find the same. Practice on some pieces of sprue. I intend to. :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211241-ultramarine-chaplain/#findComment-2513041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
