After deciding to commit to being a public school teacher, it felt like a great weight was taken off of my shoulders.

I do like how the conversion looks fairly seamless, so I guess I can always revisit the painting at a later date.

Thanks for the fe...@ Mordian 7th and Col. Corbane:<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback, fellas! I think you're both right about the respirator. The lenses have actually been painted in a very light, icy blue called Coastline Blue, but it doesn't stand out at all. I think I'll repaint the lens in a luminescent green color and add some black to the respirator to make it contrast more with the model.Paul Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936952941124875623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-65050912299390671422010-03-04T17:03:25.670-05:002010-03-04T17:03:25.670-05:00Very nice mate, I do like the pose of the model.

If I may make a suggestion, the lenses on the respirator may benefit from being painted a different color than the silver(?) that they appear to be. Perhaps a green or blue tint would make the face 'pop' a bit more. Other than that minor nitpick, that's a top notch model - keep up the great work!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-57523802145221447152010-03-02T02:09:30.330-05:002010-03-02T02:09:30.330-05:00@ tQstudios:

Hopefully, I won't amend myself completely out of this project, but honestly, the last thing I want is for this to start feeling like a job.

I mostly paint what catches my eye with a wishful hope of one day being able to collect all of the armies I find appealing. (Of course, the cost of doing that would be prohibitive and would probably result in many long nights sleeping on the couch at the wife's insistence!)<br /><br />The only 3 armies I've made any headway in terms of nearly completing (collecting-wise, not painting-wise) are my Blood Ravens, Snakebite Orks, and Cadian 265th. All of the other models I occasionally paint and post up on the blog are usually all I've collected thus far of that particular army.Paul Wuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936952941124875623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3900510952723355056.post-65941362161722384392010-02-28T21:29:26.584-05:002010-02-28T21:29:26.584-05:00Congrats on a week's worth of figs: Only 51 m...Congrats on a week's worth of figs: Only 51 more weeks to go!

Yes, this project is very ambitious, but if you could see the shelves worth of unpainted miniatures in my basement, you'd want to do something drastic too!
