25th Anniversary Model (converted to Ultramarine)


Recommended Posts

Completed this project this afternoon. What a great scuplt! I tried to keep my conversions limited, but needs to make sure I left no trace Crimson Fist on this model! This was also my first time working with Finecast. Anyway, it was fun seeing this little dio come together.

 

Happy New Year Brothers!

 

COURAGE AND HONOR in 2013!

Looks good, it's a great mini to paint.

Maybe an idea for next time and my only honest suggestion is to counter-sink that dio base so he fits snug into what is a nice little display you have there, but it still looks cool and that's totally a personal taste thing. Good work and happy new year :eek

Really like the Banner. I think you could do with lowering the brightness and increasing the contrast on the photos. It looks like your flash has burnt them out a bit. Here's one I've tried it on. http://s398928513.websitehome.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/post-43-21801_thumb.jpg

Thanks guys!

 

@Mercadius- I thought about that too. I almost attached the model to the base, but cutting a round hole in the larger base crossed my mind too. I have two more of these, perhaps on the next one...

 

@Pingo- Ditto man.

 

@CM- I appreciate that, my camera is an old 1999 Sony, it's tired. FTR, I don't use a flash for any of my photos. I'll see if I can adjust and re-post the images. This wash out has been an issue with a lot of my UM models (see my Ultra collection in Hall of Fame). Okay, just reposted the images, is that a bit better?

 

Thanks again Brothers.

Thanks again Brothers...

 

@Ludovic- Calgor and his Honor Guard are next on my list!

 

@Disruptor- Aye, brother good question. I borrowed my friend's dremmel tool and carefully removed them so that the suface was smooth. Then I added a resin Ultra symbol and brass symbol. Freehanded the "Ultra- Marine on the banner scrolls. Hope that helps...

 

THERE IS ONLY THE EMPEROR!
