Hi,

 

I thought I'd put some photos up of the latest power armoured project I completed:

Painting this mini was great fun and something of an experiment in dealing with so much bronze plating. For a while I wasn't sure that my idea was going to pan out but I think persevering was worth it. He might not be the same as the 'official' Forge World scheme but I think he's just as characterful.

 

Special Thanks go to mikhail for his kindness in sending me this mini. I hope I've done him justice my friend :no:.

 

As always please feel free to leave comments or criticism

 

thanks

Very nice, lovely smooth paint on him. Could just be the light, but are there any highlights on him?

I wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alley.

I was just about to ask about highlights as well. They would certainly add some depth and contrast. Perhaps it's the camera but the model looks a tad more coppery to me. That coupled with the red is effecting your final results. I do say, you did a wonderful job with coverage with your metallics. In the old days anyway painting metallics could be a nightmare.
