Out - wait for it - standing.  :o :-* The paintjob is just great - subdued enough to be "realistic", yet contrastive enough to catch the eye. Casting must have taken ages (I gather that's HirstArts or something similar?).

That is GREAT! I'm thinking of getting some of those hirst tiles myself.
I go to pieces so fast that people get hit by the shrapnel.

Wonderful colours! And you've also given me ideas for what to do when I've finished my Space Hulk set!

By the Gods that is nice! Really great work. The paintwork looks lovely. What is your technique?

Outstanding! I love your colours. What kind of wash did you use for the rust effect?

Lovely finish on the Hirst arts stuff! Is that a mars/moonscape in the back?.........and does your building interior have an exterior leading out on to it?

Thanks all for the support.

Its a weathering powder, this orange one in particular is from http://www.awesomepaintjob.com/, Forge World also makes some nice powders

Lovely finish on the Hirst arts stuff! Is that a mars/moonscape in the back?.........and does your building interior have an exterior leading out on to it?

Yes, the table in the rear was something I did awhile ago the are some pictures of it with some 15mm stuff here http://plasticlegions.blogspot.com/2010/11/abandoned-base.html
I just put that in the background for looks with the photo's however there is an airlock (where the floor is painted with the big caution stripes)
so if I rotated the build 90 degrees clockwise, yes you could walk right on red moonscape.
