Some of you may remember a long time ago I started a Lementers army. Unfortunettly it didn't get very far, as the idea of that yellow was rather daunting and I couldn't get quite the shame shade of yellow on any model I painted. So with only 3 models painted in over a year, I called it quits.
In an atempt to actually get some paint on models I went back and reworked my old DIY Space Marine scheme into something useable. My aim was to get something fairly easy to paint, but also something which would improve my skills. As I'll be the first to admit, I cannot paint Space Marines.
So without further adu, I give you Mr Test Marine:
He is still a slight WiP and needs tidying up in a few places, but he's the test subject so going to try and get him right before I go too far with the others.
The chequer board pattern is my first real attempt ever at free hand, and it went better on the shoulder pad than the bolter. I'm fairly certain now I'm going to tone down the ink level on the model to match right hand side of the model (left in the picture). Still not sure how I'm going to add any depth to the eyes, or the red shoulder pad.
My aim is to make them look weathered and like they've actually seen some combat.
Any thoughts, comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
