Beating Hobby Burnout with a Space Marine

[@tfemby]

Looks great! Only suggestion I have is to get a bottle of microsol for the decals. It's a mild corrosive that thins out decals once you've placed it on and tends to prevent it from silvering over time as well as getting the decal to "suck" down to the surface better.

I really enjoyed this paint tutorial. A very clean and well painted model.

If your find edge highlighting daunting. make your first pass with a color very close to your base color. In this case like the video a much darker blue for your first highlight. You could take 2-3 parts macragge blue and one part screaming skull. And make a wide highlight with thinned down paint, to make the edges of the highlight blend into the base paint. Repeat until you are happy with your first pass. Then less macragge blue to one part screaming skull but more focused and now as wide as your first highlight, so that the brighter color is within the first still showing the first highlight. Or use ready made paints that are just a tiny bit lighter than macragge blue, going ever brighter. Each step trying to make thinner and thinner highlights and ending with your last just at corners, or sharp points. Error many make, that end up making them scared of doing edge highlights is that they choose a to bright color for their first highlight, making the contrast between the base color and higlight extreme, and also many times to thick paint making the edges of the two layers too sharp. Just go thin and multiple layers until its smooth and looks great. =)

Great to see you exploring Marines. They aren't as bad as their reputation :D Enjoy your content, keep up the great work. For the Emperor, for the Khan!

Great job. You really nailed the box art style with this one. I find it super difficult to focus on painting just one model at a time. Those combat patrol magazines are great value. I'm going to have to pick up a few issues if they ever become available in my country. Thanks for sharing!

Looks awesome!!! It certainly has that ‘Eavy Metal-esque pop!

Space Marine Captain Direus Diceius of the Ultramarines Chapter will receive reinforcements soon in the form of some 1st Company Terminators when the next Combat Patrol package gets shipped.
