Imperial Fist Veteran: stage 2

Imperial Fist Veteran: stage 2


Hi all, as said yesterday here is the update on the Imperial Fist Veteran. 

The yellow has been improved, its more at the level I want it now, so its time for the highlights and what not.

I have base coated the cloth red and the trim and knee purple and work on the backpack has also started, but I forgot to get photos of that so will wait until the next update which should be tomorrow with any luck.

So, here are the pictures:




They are not the best quality photos, but I think I have made some improvements to the set up. Anyway, tell me what you think in the comments below.

Well, here is the current model on my painting table. It's one of the metal veteran space marine models, which I will be painting up to be a veteran Sargent of the 7th company for the Imperial Fists. 



This is not only my first Imperial fist model I have done, but also the first time I have painted a yellow model.

My plan for this model is to paint him up in the purple shoulder trim, as well as painting the left knee in purple. I then plan of painting the decoration on him, such as on the chest and leg, in NMM silver. Which would also be the fist attempt. and finally, the cloth will be done in red.



This is a great test model for me and as is the first time I have even picked up a paint brush in about a year. So, here are the rest of the pictures.




Sorry for the quality of the photos, I really need to get my photo set up sorted out. Anyway, the next up date should be tomorrow and with any luck with better pictures as well. If I get this finished in time for Sunday I may even enter him in the painting comp at my local GW. 

So, tell me what you think in the comments below, also how should I finish off the yellow armour and what tips have you come across when painting yellow?
