Militarum Tempestus Scion , 28mm

[Alan 45]

ive been practicing on some warhammer 40k figures for the dio I built and over the last few days I've finally finished one


I've used only citadel paints and washes and the correct colours , I think it's ok considering its size which at 28mm is smaller than 1/48


It would be interesting to see what you good people think of it , View attachment 119676

Cheers folks I appreciate that


I don't think it's that bad for a first real attempt it will also give me some practice for some 1/48 figures I've got

 

[noble]

Well painted in my view Alan.

Nicely painted, as a personal thing I would have drilled out the gun barrel I think it makes a big improvement for the effort involved.

These 28mm figures sure are fun! If my Jason figures turn out half as good as this, I'll be well pleased!

I'm amazed at the detail you have included on this fig and ar such small size ( really well done )


You don't want to go into figure painting for war hammer ( awesome painting skills


Robert :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Drilling the barrel isn't difficult Alan - it can't be as even I can do it! It's certainly nowhere near as difficult as the detail painting you can do!

cheers Dave I'll give it a go when the opportunity arises which could be soon as I have some left over guns from these figures

You could always practise on some sprue first. Just make sure you get the centre marked accurately and take it steady.

Must have missed this one. You really know how to paint them. Another cracker

Just tried it on a spare gun with a scalpel, I couldn't hold it and drill at the same time so I improvised :D View attachment 120299

that's not a bad effort first time out

 

[dougie]

id say that's a fair effort, it really adds to the effect of the gun.

 

[Gern]

Told you it wasn't as tricky as you thought!


When you say you couldn't hold the gun and drill at the same time, what sort of drill were you using? A simple pin vice is much simpler than trying any powered drills.
