PyronusSouria Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and pretty new to painting miniatures. I have terrible art skills (I nearly failed a grade 9 art class!), so feedback is much appreciated. I still have some touch ups on this guy, but any advice on what to do next would be great. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo40/PYR025067/100_0280.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkle Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 For a first model that looks pretty good. :D The next thing you should do is get bigger pictures :P It's a little hard to make out any detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyronusSouria Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah, I wasn't sure where to host the pictures from, so I just used photobucket and it came out tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffan Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 This looks really cool... mayby give some Badab Black on chest wing& speaker.But still this is clean paintjob. Congratulations :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen_2 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 A lot better then my first paint job (better then any of my paint jobs....). Hosting pictures are pretty hard to do on the forum and I wish they made it straight from documents to website instead of using a middleman.

Brother Cambrius Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah, I wasn't sure where to host the pictures from, so I just used photobucket and it came out tiny The B+C has a Gallery you can upload your pictures too. Just click "My Albums to go straight to oyurs on the otp right hand side. I use it for all my model pics. :P For a 1st attempt I'm impressed, a lot better than my horror story 4 years ago. :) Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolffan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 As i said, a badab black is quite necesary on his chest. Did you had a problems with coverage of those red elements? But still- cool painting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyronusSouria Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 What do you mean by coverage? And I don't have Badab black, but I have black ink, will that work the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 What do you mean by coverage? And I don't have Badab black, but I have black ink, will that work the same? As in layering the red on smoothly and such. A Badab Black wash will really ad to this model. It is the bread and butter nowadays of helping to accentuate models. My other recommendaiton would be to maybe chose a more opposite colour for the claw to make it stand out against the marine's armour. This though is still a finely superb effort for a first attempt. Smile and be proud brother! Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyronusSouria Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yeah, I wasn't sure what colour to make the claw, and my girlfriend was hounding me to paint something purple so I did :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffan Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 And I don't have Badab black, but I have black ink, will that work the same? Almost the same. I think that it will work :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it will work :P Just make sure you thin it down to water or you'll get splotches. Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyronusSouria Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Alright, I'll try that and see how it turns out. I'll post the result. Thanks for the advice :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
