Nice condescending look on him--it may just be the pic, but I think an extra highlight would finish off the face.

Nice start, I agree with the extra highlight on the face I think that would realy make him stand out. This is a nice model I bought this one in the box set and think the whole set is nice, are just doing this one or do you have the whole command squad to do.

I say its perfect! This would be your best work yet. Though is't a vox caster one of those backpack radio things?
I really can't wait to see this finished.

Im saying this hoonestly his face looks alot better up close and in person, the picture sort of fades it I guess. I have this one and 1 Cadian officer, I didnt buy the whole set as im keeping my spending low to save up so i brought this and an offficer for £4 together. Plus yeaf he and the officer should have a backpack but they didnt come with the purchase so i cut off the thing on the back and sculpted over it.

You are right on with the face. The cloth is looking very nice as well.

here you go, another update, not much done in two days since ive had the price catalogue to work on, but here it is:  Only done he green armour and the small parts of gold NMM, im really happy with it again so far, the bigger gold NMM parts will be the big logo on his chest and the sword handle, I done them seperately since the smaller areas of NMM require less blending. Anway, what do you think? |

I really like your choice of colors on this one. The leather holster looks a bit flat yet--maybe just a few highlights along the edges.

Almost done now! heres the update:  Just got to do the wires, buttons and of course the huge sword :shock: The picture doesnt do it any justice but IMO this is by far my best model and I think im getting the hang of getting a good contrast with NMM, still alot of space to improve though :wink: Anyway, I want to do the sword blue, has anyone got any tips of hoe to do it? |

Great paintjob, that green on the armour is really nice. I don't really have a good advice for the sword, though. When in doubt, I'm always experimenting until it turns out good enough |
