Colonial Marine [PICS]

[Pil]

For a miniature exchange on a Dutch forum I painted a colonial marine, PAIN MAN.





I simplified the colour scheme a bit and I must say I think it works rather well. I can see myself painting more of these in these colours. To turn the model into a bit more of a diorama, and to lnk the model to the Aliens movie I added an egg, inspired by this fabulous vignette by NAVARRO on Frothers:

To add some display feeling I added a small dome with the text "stand back it's moving" crudely written on the damp wall (of the dome). Because all Alien fans know what happens next our unlucky Pain Man got the numer 13 on his back.




I hope you like him, I'm rather pleased myself and the recipient was very happy with it as well.

Great work!

I hope you like him

I do, Pil, that is a fine looking painting job.

[Brummie Thug]

Really nice paintjob would find a place on the mantlepiece

Fantastic Pil!   

[supervike]

First of all the painting and modelling is awesome, but the backwards warning written in condensation really makes me love this!!

Well done Pil

[aggro84]

Damn it. 

Now that I just finished painting a group of these EM-4 minis people keep posting pictures of theirs that look waaay better that mine.

Nice work. 

[mpennock]

Well done!

[Papa Spanky]

The dome thing is just great, it really looks like condensation! Great work in capturing that effect!

[Pil]

Thanks all! I'm really pleased with the way he turned out and I think I will be doing more. But first I have to focus on some other projects

Maybe I can sneak in a team in the LPL though

Damn it. 

Now that I just finished painting a group of these EM-4 minis people keep posting pictures of theirs that look waaay better that mine.

Nice work. 

Well, the models are fantastic and we still want to see yours

Sheer class!
 

Genius, too!
 

[dwartist]

now that's bloody clever! Inspired composition and an excellent paint-up (loving the camo!). This is nit-picking I know but a slightly different shade for the binocs and 'webbing/ammo packs' on the next one maybe. Looking forward to seeing more of these.

[Pil]

If I do more of these I'll likely speed up the process a bit more (rather than less) so I'm keeping the same shade on the webbing. That said, it might look better indeed so maybe I'll give it a shot, I don't know yet
