Hi, this is my single 40k project for the next italian golden demon: it\'s almost finished apart for some small thing.
I\'ll be happy to receive some feedback mostly about the idea but feel free to comment or criticize anything, that would surely help me to improve it. thx

I think you need to ground the model more, at the moment it doesn\'t look like any of the feet are firmly on the floor. Which I think detracts from this great piece

Hi, due to the copious amount of feedbacks i\'ve pondered two possible causes:
1)you don\'t like both the idea and the painting
2)you were so stunned by my work and simply can\'t say anything.:D
Obviously i\'ll go for the 1 :D
anyway here\'s some picture taken in the process:

this is the base before cutting the plasticard in excess that gave a \"dirty\" look to the work.

its got a good start. cant see the backpack too well but imo it looks odd. too small so far or something. the over effect on the guy is good.
the only thing i can think of is maybe add so free hand to the legs and chest.
good luck:beer:

All in all it is a great looking model, but an awsome base and a good paint job won\'t win you a GD.
I would add more freehands on the tunic. The right arm looks a bit flat, but maybe it\'s the pic.

great job.

We might see eachother at the Italian GD.

cheers

As this is a GD entry I will be brutally honest with you.
1. Your line work needs to be neater. Some of the freehand on you cloak especially is a little uneven. For a normal model no prob but for the GD it needs to be spot on.
2. More contrast. You need to take it ot the next level of contrast. More Highlight more shading. Your NMM especially needs to be upgraded.

Overall this is a great mini but you will be going against the best in the world and I dont envy you. I wouldnt be game to enter myself. This is a really nice piece that just needs some rework to be a really great piece.

Nice work keep going you\'ll get there.

Hi thanks for the tips to who posted and thx also to who don\'t posted (that helped me too to understand this is not a good work)
I\'ve decided to change the mini for the single 40k, i\'ll do the mail order techmarine that is full of details and don\'t needs freehands that are my big weak point, (looking at the mini there\'s not space anyway :D, very good alibi)
prolly i\'ll re-use the base that i still like and i\'ll use the adeptus for the 40k squad(he and 4 servitors)
@ ogrebane: hemm there\'s not nmm on it, it\'s all done with metallics.
Other than that i agree with you.
