I usually paint very slowly, but I hope to use the Challenge to spark some slightly accelerated finishing of projects. This is a 28mm resin figure and separate resin cast base from Studio McVey, once available separately for their now-OOP space combat board game, Sedition Wars. As a resin figure, it's a cleaner casting than the kind of awful restic used in the actual board game models.
Primed black with airbrushed zenithal highlights, this figure was completed in glazes of acrylic washes, with some extra attention for the visor. Only 5 points; it should properly be part of the The Armoury category, but that's a second level challenge room.
I used a scheme similar to Master Chief, in the same colours as the boxed set models I had previously painted.
Great looking scifi trooper, lovely finish and welcome to the challenge!

I loved the designs of the infantry, but that restic stuff was awful. Glad you managed to get a resin version, he looks great!
ReplyDeleteNice first entry - welcome to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Challenge Dave!! It's wonderful to have you with us. This is a great figure (the visor clinches it) and will be a welcome addition to any Challenger's collection. Lovely work Dave!
