for those who havent followed my painting journey here is a look back to my first job, and then to the job i finished last nite, im really really happy with how it turn out, still a little rough in places, but overall soooooo much better..(although its been almost a year haha)

While I can't fathom your decision to play Ultra Marines, that's a good paint job nonetheless.

I'm not a fan of weathering but I know raw talent when I see it. Nice job!

 

[fatmantis]

well they were my first army, so im continuing to play them, but i do prefer my nids..

That's really good, I personally love the weathering, how did you do it if you don't mind me asking?

I like the idea of showing your first mini's and then your current level of work. Well done on the LR by the way, nice and subtle weathering!

That's really good, I personally love the weathering, how did you do it if you don't mind me asking?

well its very simple process i use 3 colours scorched brown. solar orange. and bolt gun metal..
then i use a small piece of sponge and just dab on the colours...but i alternate the colours to form different stages of rust.

well its just how i do it, and its looks ok

thanks yes it is fun to look on my minis...but more importantly its more a tribute to all those on heresy who took the time to comment and criticize my painting...they have really helped me progress through each step with insightful tips and techniques. so every time i post a photo it more of a thankyou thank wohoo look what i can do ahahah:laugh:
