Hi, this is a project i'm doing for the italian gd in october, basically it's ferocious kitbashing with a little green stuff (very little), now it's on a good stage : it miss backpack and a surprise he is holding on the fist ;D  |

Nice smooth painting, though the composition of the mini looks very strange to me, like the legs don't quite fit the body.

i think i agree with mminiatures, the painting is good but the torso is too small for the marine, he looks odd in that respect, sorry to appear negative  the painting though like i say is good, |

humm thx mates any constructive stuff will help. In this case i've used a running body from the dark angel sprue, the only thing i've done was to transform it in a walk pace, maybe the picture prospective false a bit the perception: i post another picture:  |

actually that does look better, probably the combination of angle and the power fist covering most of it

hmmm that does look better, I would partially blame it on a weird sprue then. The bending of the legs somehow makes it look even stranger IMO, but I guess theres nothing you can do about it. If you're doing this for GD I bet you'd be ok, they can't fault you for a flaw in their own castings.

The leg does look a little strange but the painting is awesomely blended with some natural looking colours on the cloth. Look forward to seeing the whole thing done!

I really like the cloak, it is very well blended. I especially like the black part, it is a hard colour to master. Good luck mate  |

He is looking really good! I really like the robe, and the shoulder with the tech symbol is awesome. I like this one alot, the theme, conversion, base and paintjob. But I am not so sure about the grey armour. I would like so see red and black armour aswell. But that's just a matter of taste, it still looks very good. Good luck at GD |

Thx mutantpotato! about the armor honestly i'll let it this color but i must redo the freehand and i'm willing to use the red/black thing for this. Anyway finished the base and the last servoskull yay!   |

now its all together it looks alot better, great job and i love the base, the only thing i would say is as its gonna be a gd entry cut the excess from around the plynth so it sits flush with the bottom of the actual base, it just looks neater imo. good luck, its a cool mini  |
