Okay folks; it's hardly the best picture, I know, but this is what I did with the Ltd. Edition captain that I got off Stretch all those months ago. This is pre- weathering/battle damage/blood. Also at the moment his hair is just the black undercoat spray - suggestions?  |

Not bad at all buddy that. Might need a drop of shading in between the armour plates but too much will kill it off so gently does it
Keep it up.

Trust me; mud, blood and sponge weathering all over for this lad - I can't imagine the 12th Legion kept very clean when the Nails were singing!
Glad you approve. The power sword is actually the blade from a GK halberd - looks more like a butcher's cleaver than a sword, which I thought was appropriate.

Looking good Jame`s, if it was me i`d of gone with a head with no hair (hate trying to pick a colour). With Darren on the shading, over all a good job, keep up with the good work mate............
Doom....

Looks good so far. As far as hair is concerned, I think you can't go wrong with dark blond if you want a younger guy or gray if you want older. He's a Marine, so it's probably best not to go for anything exotic.

'Fraid the only time I had to paint hair on a beaky was the captain from the AoBR set hanging out of the front of the Dredd Weight on Smoggy's SupaRokkit launcha, started off with reddy/brown hair, thought 'this seems too much like hard work' so I just sat a squigeon on his head and called it 'done'.   So, probably not much help there - maybe just paint your captains hair black with gobbits of flesh and gore stuck in it? |

Looks good so far James, picked yourself a nice complicated paint scheme eh? White armour, you are a brave man As for the hair, red would get lost in the blood and gore you have planned, how about a nice distinguished head of grey hair? As for the shading between the armour plates can I suggest using the oil wash technique? it would make lining those armour plates an absolute doddle! FK |

It's not the cleanest white (nothing like Stretch's Scars) but in truth it is piss easy - Pallid Wych Flesh for the win!
And it'll be washed and damaged and gored up, so neatness is technically not an issue.....
