Rackham AT-43..a WIP

I just noticed, you might want to highlight a wee bit more the upper part of the armor on the edges (shoulders and neck piece), but still looking great !

I agree, even though the armor is obviously painted to look dulled, you would still likely get some minor hotspots reflecting at the upper edges

Well.........this is him, possibly almost finished.....based up



Not perfect, but happy.

now.....awaiting that Tom Meier german to arrive; but in the meantime, a certain Manga Schoolgirl with a hamster gun arrived on my doorstep yesterday.........

oh, and i've just discovered a friend got hold of that new FW limited edition pilot figure. Nice

Looks really good Rob! Just one critic, maybe the gogles could use some extra reflexions.

Looking forward to the rest of the minis you're announcing .

Looks really good, Rob!

Yeah love it Rob! I agree abuout the visors though, they could need something more as they are a very central focalpoint. Some very subtle red se-nmm might be cool as if the visors are reflecting the surrounding (even if it's not my favourite technique it can look quite cool on details) Otherwise some more sparkle another alternative is to do those 2 or 3 white lines that are often used in comics to reperesent reflective visors. Some do it on metals as well.. like bobby wongs. http://miniature-art.tripod.com/bloodquestsquad/id1.html

I don't think it will ruin the overall effect as your style is more "super-realistical" on this one IMO. More like realistical videogame depicting reality.

Cheers folks.......much appreciated.

mmmmm reflections.......I'm scared!!! but I think maybe you're right; Sven - I can almost picture the red SE-NMM thing you're talking about......a cityscape maybe........although a few mangaesque relections may be simpler.

Thanks for your thoughts
