I am going to disagree and say that I like the amount of weathering on the upper portion. But, I think the feet need just a bit more, there are a few spots that just look too clean like the left foot under the greave and the top of the right foot. But that aside, still a great mini. I am curious, is that mini sealed or unsealed?Kevin Spyrlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861282058033709654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-49102454913758592772011-07-27T12:29:38.856-07:002011-07-27T12:29:38.856-07:00People will paint Ultramarines any old blue these ...People will paint Ultramarines any old blue these days. The model looks fine, maybe too far with the brown stuff on the boots. When I was starting out Ultramarine Blue was a very specific color, now you see "Ultramarines" that are lighter all the way to dark like a Night Lord...

I've found those colours complement the Ultramarines colour scheme quite nicely.onihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00826913158717010235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-56479530571877876022011-07-27T04:30:11.587-07:002011-07-27T04:30:11.587-07:00@Redscorps you have fantastic blog.

When I sprayed dull coat it changed the appearance of the powders dramatically. <br /><br />I terms of improvements, I think I need to keep the upper 3/4 of the mini less weathered.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-90956517925335676342011-07-26T20:28:46.906-07:002011-07-26T20:28:46.906-07:00I like the red dirt over blue armour.
