Greetings folks. After (another) hiatus, I have returned with a commission project. This time, it's the decorated champion of the Ultramarines 2nd Company. I like the model, and his fluff, so this was an exciting opportunity for me. The customer requested that Mr. Sicarius don the helmet and plasma pistol combo, so I got him assembled and cleaned and away I go! The beginnings: IMAG0894 by jmcolbeck, on Flickr As you can see, this was a really good cast. To be honest, I haven't had a bad Finecast yet, but GW seems to really be improving upon the stuff. It's nice to see smooth surfaces, sharper detail, and a material that is just far easier to work with than metal. I then moved on to the armor: IMAG0901.jpg by jmcolbeck, on Flickr As you can see, I went for a bit of a "top-down" source lighting effect on the armor, which will hopefully turn out nicely. I will do my best to repeat the effect throughout the miniature, as if the Loyalist hero has a spotlight on his face. Anyway, I will keep this updated as often as possible - this time, up through and including completion.

Update: IMAG0909 by jmcolbeck, on Flickr IMAG0910 by jmcolbeck, on Flickr I have so more "shine" effects to add, but I don't want the metal to overpower the saturated reds, blues, and whites he will adorn in the end.

Some updates. Here's a bit of the cloak work thus far: IMAG0933 by jmcolbeck, on Flickr IMAG0920 by jmcolbeck, on Flickr I will probably pursue a simpler pattern on the interior of the cloak than the one offered by Masterclass painter Joe Tomaszewski (who I've met). Anyway, comments welcome!!!

I have a bit of a soft spot for the Thokt Dynasty, myself. The graphite colored armor, with hints of white as you progress up the "ranks" of Necrons. Very dramatic.
