Space Marine Diorama

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

Something I did for a friend, a birthday gift. She loves Night Lords and is a med student, so this made perfect sense. =D

If I was to redo this, what would I change - the battle damage on the UM. It is too much in places and unconvincing but I needed something to show that he was hurt/wounded instead of him just laying there. I am not good with battle damage and the GW way of "black with silver over the top" isn't all that convincing.

Oh well, I think she'll be happy with it - or at least hope she will.

[unfortunately the picture is rather grainy, could be the size but think my photo skills played a part too.]

I do have an overhead shot that I couldn't fit into the montage -

so, is he dying from lack of oxygen because his backpack was blown off?

I don't really see the damage you're talking about.

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

Er, not quite. His backpack would not fit properly with it on he would practically look as though he was sitting up. So I decided to leave it off; the damage are the black looking lines on the Ultramarine - like I said not entirely happy with it but too late now I am afraid. Need more practice.

Not bad, but I think you've done better. I think since its a display piece you should have taken a larger base into consideration in order to tell the story a bit more properly. A good piece altogether though.

[King Ulrik Flamebeard]

Well it was the only base I had and I am taking this to Denmark - small it was the less chance of damage. But I suppose on a bigger base it would worked better perhaps.

Thank you, have done better and I tried to use VGC but the blues did not like to stay where painted at all. Odd.
