Garden Ninja Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I finished my Movie Marines project recently with the last two entries. First off, I needed a rhino to finish off the lot of them. I converted this rhino quite some time ago, but I always had a sort of block when it came to painting it up. Eventually, I realized that it was the static boxiness of the rhino mini- no matter how much you convert and add, it is tough to make it dynamic. In order to remedy this, I decided to add a base. This mini is mounted on an old CD-ROM that we never care to see again. Second, I threw together the sergeant mini- in part because I've done lots of this kind of freehand on projects for commissions, but I haven't done it for myself very much. The lion banner was in part because I felt it would go well as a sort of personal heraldry icon on him. I put the Rhino up on Cmon for anyone who cares to vote. http://www.gardenninja.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/movie-marines/movie-marine-tank.jpg http://www.gardenninja.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/movie-marines/movie-marine-banner.jpg http://www.gardenninja.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/movie-marines/movie-marine-banner-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Carnelian Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I mean... Guh... Too much awesome. If you could tone down the awesome on both of the models, I think that would really help my head heal from exploding. Seriously, great work.

Cypher441 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Fantastic, brilliantly painted minis there. Flesh tone on the sergeant is a little bright for my tastes but each to their own, it's still well painted. :) I might have been tempted to try some more subdued colouring on the banner, just to fade the lion head and blue symbol to make them look a little more like part of the fabric (red border and green laurel on the banner work great), Rhino definitely has more sense of motion to it now, nicely done. All I've got to ask, what was the CD-ROM then? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
