Work in progress Death Guard marine with plasma gun

This one's been taking a while.  Where does the time go?

Thought I'd take another opportunity to post something up as it's been a while.  This guy had been partially completed for a few weeks, so thought I'd take the time to do a bit more on him this morning.

I've added in a bit of purple on the helmet lenses. Not sure how strongly it comes out in the photos, like. But the colour seems to contrast well with the rest of the model (cheers for the suggestion, Tim!).  Thought I'd see what other people thought before I added it in to the models I've already been working on.  So please comment. And it's fine to say it looks crap or whatever. Which it is possible that it might.

As I was saying, this is a work in progress and I've a few more bits to do on him yet.

Hopefully I will be feeling a bit better tomorrow, as currently feeling too thick-headed to concentrate very well.  Thanks, man-flu.

Brilliant colour wheel tool

So, the other day, I found this great website that helps loads with designing colour schemes and picking out spot colours. http://colorschemedesigner.com/  It has loads of useful features, and you can view the way different types of schemes work together.

You can view how many styles of applying colours work by clicking on the small dial type circles above the colour wheel.  Within the wheel itself there will be one or more dots (dependent upon which dial you've selected) which you can drag around the wheel in either direction, and this will show suggested colours in the big square on the right.  Not only this but you can adjust the palette too, which I've found invaluable.

Worth a look.
