Just brilliant, and a cleaver idea to keep your hand in Mick.
Well worth .

Not my 'thing' but superb painting and characterisation nevertheless!

Thanks Steve, never been any good at figure painting so trying to push myself

 

[Steve Brodie]

Nothing wrong with any of those

Unfortunately during a quiet period at work I inadvertently ended up on an auction site and made a couple of purchases. One was a post war British tank and the other was this big lad. After completing the large scale marine I thought he needed a friend. This is a Necron Flayed One. If they defeat you they take skin and wear it. I’ve posed him with one of his 28mm buddies

Grizzly...but I look forward to the painted version:thumb2:

Me too John, unfortunately they are made of a strange rubbery material that’s an absolute swine to get the mould lines off.

Is that a reaper bones mini Mick? If so, have a look around about priming them. Some primers react, leaving them sticky and unable to dry. If not, I’d still recommend going with a water based primer because it sounds like the same type of material. Ugly looking brute isn’t he. Like Eduard Scissorhands‘ more scary cousin.

It’s a McFarlane figure same as the space marine I did. I gave that a really good wash and used a GW rattle can to prime him.
ugly is being kind to him, a face a puppy wouldn’t lick

Good call. GW and Army Painter are the two primers that get most recommended for this type of plastic Mick :thumb2:

My last completed figures as I step back into a bit of plastic welding. These are a unit of Stormcast Annihilators. They were fun to paint with their large shields and lightening running in them and in the hammer heads.

Great work as always Mick.

 

[Mickc1440]

Great work as always Mick.

Thanks Andy, my box of shame is slowly shrinking but then I see more I’d love to paint

Thanks very much Joe, there’s so much detail on the big pieces so a real test to paint.

The big fella’s made it to undercoat, his head is on a stick drying

He doesn't look any less "grizzly" under primer. :smiling:

Apparently in the lore surrounding them in the game, they became deranged and detached from the rest of their kind, not hard to see that

Progress report on the giant Necron figure. Just a bit of final highlights and detailing to do.
