great assembly jobs! Too many people just leve them in static poses. I love the odd dynamic "action" pose. And I especially love the running marauder. He looks like he's trying to CATCH something.

One thing you might do on big guns like the marauders laser and PPC's though, is to get a dremmel with a 1/16" and a 1/8" bit and make your gun barrels about 2-3x deeper than they are cast. Paint the insides black with a fade to chrome. It makes them so much more menacing when you can't "see" the back of the gun barrel. I have a similar trick with PPC's but its a fade from grey/white to blue to green

I do this with the jumpjets on phoenixhawks too...

As far as your paint jobs, very nice sir!

I used to drill AC barrels back like you recommended, for Lasers & such. I need to practice "jeweling" the lens like Artists like Fanjoy & Pendragon do. I do like the "image" your suggestion has though. It's a cool sounding effect I will have to try! :suave: 8) :D

The Jumping Hatchetman is a very nice mini :toast: , I have seen several painted up on different forums, some with the 'jet exhaust' painted in reds/ yellows (hot colours), others painted blue/white (cool colours) both look nice, I'm spolit for choice & still I havn't mastered the paint fading / mix I need to learn to do ....OH Well :sad: :wink: :lol:
