This is the first time I've posted a miniature here, so fire away with comments and questions, I know I am a long way off the CSO team's level, but I look to them for inspiration and something to work towards.

I really like this. You did a good job with the wash and I like how the green and gold really pop. Good job.

Thanks for the comments, the green was VERY easy - probably the easiest part of the whole paint job - GW snot green highlighted with scorpion green.

Welcome to the boards. :)

You're not as far off as you think. A little jeweling practice, and you'll be there in no time.

Really like it!
cool use of those B'damon cases too, I may use it.

Very nice! Excellent background too.

RotS-Targe that was good work picking them out - my oldest son went through a Bademon phase and marbles and the cases were being left all throughout the house .... eventually the interest passed but I would still find pieces scattered around, so one day I picked up a few of his cases and threw them into my bits box thinking they looked useful. Maybe a year later I came up with that little piece of scenery - I think I finished it maybe 2 years ago ..... I like it, it looks gritty.

Learn from others and practice what you see would be my advice.

See unrealistic and grandiose plans and little free time tends to squash those efforts. That said, I ought to focus small and just plug away at it. Thanks for the advice.

I like it a lot. It captures the Imarra ivory white finely.

O0 Really nice Job! Victor is one of my favorite mechs.

GRF-1N · « **Reply #22 on:** 30 January 2011, 22:31:11 »

Thanks for the comment Foxbat, Adrian at CSO also commented on how well I did the ivory - it took a bit of research and a good look at what colours I had to play with to achieve the result. I have more images of my other House Imarra mechs posted over there (at CSO).

And I have more house Imarra miniatures that are not posted in case I decide to one day make a submission.

I decided to branch out to this forum (with a new username).

This is an exceptionally nice piece, certainly beyond the quality of many of the older CO minis, and within striking distance of many current. Very nice.
