brighter pic
Cool, thanks for the input and ideas.
The nose is gone, the left side of his face (including the whole nose) is supposed to be a big mass of scar tissue. The jury is a bit out on whether this effect worked or not. Part of the character background behind the mini is that he was horribly disfigured and wears his "skull mask" as facepaint. (this from space marine chaplain concept.)
I've been working on darker more dramatic lighting in my pics for effect... I should've used the pic set that was well lit for painting/modeling advice... the ones I showed before go with fluff that I'm writting for my army.
Here's a better lit pic.
still, working on more layers of thinner paint, and the dipped look might be from my finishing process... armor parts covered with 50/50 solution of floor polish and water... then dull coated...
