View attachment 5942Front view of my Design. its a real piece of work. I spent over 14 hrs on converting and painting this guy up nicely for a contest and even did terrain for him.

Thats pretty cool man. YOu did it kinda fast! Takes me a long time to just make design decisions

Damn, seems like Orks can loot anything.

The conversion is well done! But only the reverse view picture works for me... so...

The paintjob is way behind the conversion to be honest. Those inks quite mess it up, i'd say.

btw.: At his left heel there is still a flash.

View attachment 5971 ok should be front better lol

 

[Rómendacil]

Yes front view is much better. I like the metal parts a lot - they look like metal indeed. Like chrome to be more exact. Also the little OSLs are pretty decent. But I still don't like the yellow inky parts...

But overall quite an appealing Mini.

YEah the problem was I used the quick shade dark tone with varnish and it came onto it a lil off. hopefully the next one I build will be a better result.

Problem as I see it it that a miniature that large doesn't benefit from Army Painter shading.
Might be quicker but over the yellow it looks streaky and 'wrong' and has pooled in areas like the feet.
To me you'd have been far better off working in thin washes and going back over putting proper weathering marks, streaks and rust patches.

Yeah I got curious to try it. wanted that sorta metalic sheen but when it dried it didnt come out how I wished for it. so Im gunna use the washes and add better touches next time so I dont have this problem. don't get me wrong, It looks great still just patchy now =/
