Greetings, it has been a while hasn't it? I have moved to Florida and back since I last posted, and Daniel has started School on top of working full time, sadly life some times gets in the way.
A few days a good friend of mine, Chris, owner of Big Robot Games asked me if I would like to paint the Fine Cast 25th Anniversary limited edition Space Marine from Games Workshop so he could display it in the store. At that point I had only heard of the Fine Cast line, but had never seen any of the miniatures, except for a Gandalf the White that Daniel bought for his wife. I was amazed at the detail in this miniature, and at once started questioning my ability to do it justice. However, in true Imperial Spirit I buckled down and took one for the Emperor. It won't win a Golden Demon award, but I am pretty happy with how it came out.
Brother Matthew displays the box per-opening.
Some of the amazing Fine Cast detail, there was quite a bit of flash that needed to be cleaned off, but it came off with out any trouble.
Starting assembly.
I do like the Finecast miniatures a lot. Not much available for Tau just yet there is at least the Sniper Drone squad, which I needed anyway.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job, on the painting, sir! It looks great.
Many thanks my friend, Chris was very happy with it as well. I also painted an old promo Imperial Guard I got from Daniel, you can see them both in the shop display case.
DeleteI suspect you probably know already, but we are starting up an Escalation League for 40K at Big Robot.
Beorn, I would say that is your best painting yet. I can tell you were aiming to do the best you could for Chris. It shows too.
