Aloa,
I did finish another project lately. A Space Marine on comission, where I was free to paint what I'll choose. Strangely it became an Ultramarine Honour Guard. Ultramarines again, but I really enjoyed him with his base and the more simpliefied colour scheme. The last time I did paint Ultramarines they had too many different colours on them - just my personal taste, have a look.
With this guy I really had my fun, but somehow this massive multibolter weapon made me cry out for the models grace. It just looks kind of off in my eyes. Nevermind the bolter, I guess this guy can kick ass when it comes to fight alien races ...but with that bolter, he wins the war!!
For those interested on how the project started some WIP shots:

I remember reading either here or somewhere else about those painting stands. Can you remind me where they are from?
I'd appreciate knowing which paints you used to paint the blue (no need for a tutorial or anything, just paint names): it's just sublime!
@Bacms
They are invented by Stephan Rath, sold by PK-Pro.
@Luke
Basic Tone: Calgar Blue (GW Citadel)
Mixed in Shadows: Black (Vallejo Model)
Mixed in Lights: Skyblue (Vallejo Model)
Mixed in extreme Lights: Ivory (Vallejo Model)
Final Lights: White Scar (GW Citadel)
... if I remember correct.
Thank you very much, Roman!
Know what you mean about the composition of that sculpt, the headdress and gun are so big and in such close proximity to each other that they overpower the model. Visually all of the weight is taken away from they iconic "big marine leg armour" and into the top half of the mini, making him look small and less imposing.
Paint job is solid as always though and I love the base :)
Cheers,
Dante
I love the messy base
