Some of my first marines

[Manus]

A group snap of a couple of my marines. They a gaming minis and not show case so the painting is not GD like (as if I could).
Should be up for voting soon in my gallery.

Any comments are very welcome

Your photos are not showing up dude. I want to see them.

 

[Hinton]

They look pretty good; nice, clean paint jobs. Are the emblems on their shoulder pads decals of some kind or is it freehand?

 

[Gilvan Blight]

Hinton can see through the X, how can you do that?

Sorry I don\'t see any Marines, just the Red, broken image X

 

[Ayla]

Hinton obviously has super-powers, I can\'t see them either:no:

I don\'t know what happened yesterday, but the pics show up on my screen - are they still not showing on yours?
The markings on the shoulderpads are decals from the spacewolves transfersheet - takes to long time doing it freehand. Did freehand on some other marines, you can see in the gallery.

I\'ve still got an X. Maybe it\'s a browser thing. I\'m using Internet Explorer (since I\'m at work and don\'t have a choice) right now.

 

[Manus]

jaysis - now none of them show up here. I use yahoo as a host, think i\'ll try and find somewhere else

And like 5 sec. later they both showed up - don\'t know what happened

tried a different host - did that help?

Still getting a broken image. Are you sure you are linking to the image and not just the page hosting the image?

 

[Manus]

can\'t figure it out. half the times I enter the forum the pic is there - if I then press update it goes missing

 

[Gilvan Blight]

Just checked the properties on your pic. For some reason the url has a ? at the end. If you eliminate that it may work.

Plus the picture is massive. Perhaps the forum can\'t handle such large pictures (that I\'m not sure on).

 

[Manus]

done a lot of changing, and the pic haven\'t dissapered from my screen in i bit now.
Using imageshack now

 

[Gilvan Blight]

Looks to be all good. Congrats.

Edit: now that the pics there I should probalby take a look and comment...

Nice clean job. You used a darker grey then most and I like that. The exterem edge highlighting is not a style I personally favour though. The snow is effective but could use to be broken up by something, some rocks maybe.

 

[Manus]

thanks for the help and the comments, one of my aims was to get them darker and more grey than the standard spacewolf/smurf. I am trying to add rocks/stones to most of the bases now, if you look in the gallery you can see it at least on one of them. http://www.coolminiornot.com/149656

Yep, I have the ability to see pictures that others can\'t. lol

Seriously, I don\'t know how I was seeing them and others couldn\'t.

 

[Ayla]

I can see them now too... so either the links are working or Hinton\'s \'superpowers\' are spreading...!

Don\'t have a lot to add really, like the dark tones, don\'t like the stark and clean snow... nice work overall though!

These guys look pretty good for gaming minis. I\'m not sure I like the metallics on the backpacks but that\'s personal preference and not technique. Overall pretty nice.

 

[Manus]

got a point with the backpacks - not sure myself, any suggestions?

Hi good clean jobs, seen your white wolves too, nice scheme.

I think the backpacks look good the same color as the armor. Maybe I\'m just a fluff cultist or something. As I said, I don\'t think it really takes away from your paintjob, I just prefer them not to be metallic.
