painting black is always hard task

but I cannot disagree with mahon - the cape seems to be flat at this stage

Been working on so many projects that I can't put wip pics up at large like Gen con and MEII and finding its actually hurting my painting. So I am doing a little side marine project as a warm up piece.

Choose a marine of the knights of order chapter as its totally different then my normal black templars. Chapter colors are gray armor, green shoulders with a gold trim. Also better color to work with for weathering and battle damage so hes going to get over done on the effect for good practice.

weathering looks good. I'd work now on smoothness of layers (I don't mean transitions between them). It looks like you have problems to get a good coverage.

I really like the glow from the eye, the OSL is nice and the weathering and battle damage really help add to the model. I always find the smoothness of the layers comes from the consistency of the paint im using and how much i've watered it down and how much water is on my brush etc. Something to look out for, for sure.

It might be that I am already tired from work but I am not quite understanding what you mean Nameless. Could you please go in to a little more detail.

lower layers are still visible under layers painted on them (e.g. brown weapon sheath).

ok I follow you now. Think part of that is I block colors with a single coat first so see if I like the lay out at times. Let me change some thing up and see if I makes a difference.

edit new pics and limited time tonight due to work. Got some what I wanted to done but way not happy with my mettalics on how photo is or how they are coming out in real life.
