On taking my friend's advice to collect plastic miniatures, I have decided to buy a few cheap models off ebay to practise my painting techniques before letting myself loose on the new kits...

Below is my second attempt at painting, this time on an Assault Marine. It's not finished but it has enabled me to practice the basecoats and washes. I think the wash on the helmet is far too dark and makes it look dirty. My next attempt at yellow will probably use a Sepia wash or maybe even a yellow wash I have seen on the Games Workshop website. I'll give it a shot on another 2 or 3 metal miniatures before I man-up and commit to making my best effort on a box of plastic miniatures.

An attempt has also been made to try and highlight the armour on his leg. I feel the contrast is too obvious and will have to try and find a lighter coloured red as opposed to using orange for the edge highlights... I'm also thinking this Memphiston Red is maybe too dark for the basecoat colour and that I need to get a decent camera, I just couldn't get this focus close enough without blurring.

Another quick attempt. Just testing out the blue colours and wash, together with more effort being placed on the bone chest emblem. Next stop, plastics!

Small improvements being made all the time and a chance to
test the blue paints on this old devastator marine |
