this is the new dead marine, from the new space hulk, please let me no what you think, and give feed back as to where i can improve my painting, if you think its needed, :]

It\'s nice, but there are a few areas could be improved.

-Mold line on the chalice, noticeable in a few fo the pics.

-The highlighting of the armor done on what looks like the last step (Fiery Orange?) looks like it\'s a little too broad, like if it was used as more of a fine highlight it might be smoother and subtle, while still making the mini pop.

But still, be proud! The gems are great to my eye!

In this same forum area ColtheReaver is doing the same model, and I would look to his for some comparisons.

Good job!

will look at that, thanks for the advice,

yeah, what Scott said, the armour highlight is too thick, try using the side of the brush to just ride along the edges. Don\'t overload the brush too much when you are doing it tho, it\'s easier to add more paint than take it off

Overall pretty good - the skull is a little too clean - bone is more of an ivory color to begin with and when bone is exposed to flesh rotting in place it tends to discolor - the white skeletons we see in anatomy class are the result of bleaching after the bones have been cleaned.

My other issue with the piece overall its a bit clean - even if the compartment he remained in were open to vacuum the colors would be faded and there would be some dust settling on the piece.

i must add mit that my main problem is not knowing the best way to age armour, i can do it on tanks and truks, but always mess up when it comes to armour, any tips on how to do this would be great,
