Chest of Colors forum

I'm sorry to have to tell you all this, but I won't finish the marauder unit for the german GD. This is due to a neck disease which got worse. So the time I can spend at my desk, I have to use for learning for my studies. This means until my neck is cured, I make a painting pause. Hopefully it only takes a couple of month but it might take longer.

When everything is allright again I will dig out this thread and continue painting.

Cheers

I'm sorry to hear about your neck
hope you'll get better soon!

good luck Begbie!

there's always next year dude just rest and get well soon !

Longtime no see…this is my second mini after a two year break. After dozens of tries to make a proper photos , my lack of skill and my aversion to photoshop them, I had enough and stated the photos as okay for me. Crappy but okay.



So here`s the link without further blah blah:

It’s a weeeee conversion of the Corporal of the Louisiana Tigers by Elite Miniaturas. Hope you like him.
Comments of all kinds are welcome.

good to see you painting again
I like mood of this piece. can't say much about painting, I guess you know it

It is very hard to judge on this picture, it looks very pale. I think the colors on the photo might not be real.
I can just say that the concept is good

Well here are some neeewwww picsies from my GD Germany 2012 Duell. Between the Cowboy and the Duell I painted two more figures which I'm not allowed to show yet (if ever...).At this years GD there were loads of entries with a very high painting standard, there weren't even enough finalpins for them...

So without further ado some not sooooo good pictures of my entry:

After the project I can say I would have done a lot different. Starting with the central ray to the whole base+mini arrangement concept and the conversions. But I am satisfied and I learned a lot out of my many mistakes.

So hope you like it and thanks for all critiques, especially the constructive ones.

woah!

Very nice scene and great paintjob.

I really like the Chaos Termi. Blends are a bit rough here and there (thigh) but that's nitpicking.

For the marine, he's lacking contrast in my opinion. There's lots of room for both highlights and shadows. His blade also looks quite rough blending-wise. (IMO he's dragging that beautiful scene a bit down 'cause he doesn't add up to the standard of the chaos termi.)

But still a beautiful piece with a great paintjob and conversion.
