The main reason I'm tackling him bit by bit is this is the first model I have tried to paint BEFORE assembling him! Yes after 16 years of being in the hobby this guy is the first. Depending on what model I'm making from now on I might use this method. The amount of detail I'm able to get is far better than what I was before. I'm not sure what took me so long to start doing this.
Since I need to seal him with mat varnish (metal model and all) and let that dry completely before I can move onto new things it's taken me a bit longer to get him done, yet I'm in no hurry. I still have to paint his head, but that's for later today. Below are my work in progress pictures of this currently unnamed Company Master to join my Angels of Vengeance.
EDIT!!
Just got done painting his head. Apparently I'm getting faster at this =P There are a total of 7 paint colors used on his head and 1 wash. His eyes were marked with a 005 Micron Pen. If you need to get really fine details these things are AMAZING!!! I tried something new to get the blond hair, and I'm happy with how it came out. Hopefully by tonight I will have everything glued together.
UPDATE!!!
Here is Company Commander Dominus (I finally named him) in all of his fully painted glory!
I really had a lot of fun putting this model together and painting it. Everything on him is metal other than his helmet on his belt and his regular Space Marine Backpack. I used a spare metal backpack I had from my bitz box and it works much better than a plastic one in my opinion. I might go back and touch up his base a bit, but I'm not sure of the 'how' and 'what' with that process. Hope you enjoyed this!
