Ciaphas Cain finished!
Here he is.
The Red Scorpion Captain is very nearly finished. Pics to come in a few hours.
Ciaphas Cain gets his warpaint.
This heroic little fella is 99.9% finished. I’ve noticed a few little bits that could be painted better (only noticed after taking photos) and he also requires a coat of Testers Dullcote to finish him off. Once he’s varnished (Dullcote is a matt finish obviously) I’ve brush his boots with gloss varnish to give them that just polished look.
I’m really pleased with how this model has turned out, there’s no real part of the model that looks like an obvious conversion.

Ciaphas Cain
With large areas of black on this model I tried an different approach to painting him. All the black areas of his coat and clothes were painted in a mid grey, and then I added multiple layers of black and blue inks. I think the end result is quite subtle and these photos aren’t the best, but I’m happy with the it.
I’ve also very nearly finished the Red Scorpion Captain paintjob, but I made some alterations quite late in the process to get the colour scheme to work better. His pics along with 100% finished Cain will be up tomorrow.
Also managed to make some headway on the first Terminator. I’m keeping the sculpting of his armour really tight and sharp, with as few flaws as possible.
More test models

Emperor's Spear Assault Marine
I’m a real fan of this colour scheme, and only made this marine as a test piece really. The battle damage on the armour could have been painted better, but I guess my next attempt will be an improvement.

My first atempt at a Mk V armour. The head was taken from the Black Reach Missile Launcher Marine.

My first Grey Knight. Technically he's not finished yet. I'm planning to make myself a Daemonhunters army all in actual scale.
Starting with the original conversions
I thought I’d begin by posting images of the first actual scale conversions I did. If you’ve seen these before them before just skip to the next post
Sorry no “work in progress” shots of these. Also whenever the Lamenter Space Marine (with the plasma gun) shows up repeatedly in any shot he’s there for size comparison purposes. Expect to see him on a regular basis.

Blood Angel Tactical Marine size comparison

These were my first actual scale conversions. I used the trimmed down terminator arms on these models. The trims on the pads were done with plasticard. Overall I was thrilled they turned out so well.
