Saint Celestine WIP

Here is what happens on a lazy Sunday... It is still a work in progress (obviously) and any suggestions are welcome.

I liked the model a lot. The only things that I can think of is to watch how much paint you are putting on your brush. This will help keep down the amount of build up and make it much easier to do the clean lines you need. It will also help with the face of the character. A good idea that I like to use is, use the 000 brush that Sean has and make the outlines of the part you are painting at the time. This way it helps keep your lines clean and helps you to paint with in a defined line.

very cool! You put in a lot of work and it is looking great!

uh, why is this model chocking a bird? in her left hand...

only thing i can see is the whites, give them a grey wash.. just to make the ridges stick out.. or other colour i dont know..

Awesome! Much better pictures than the one you sent me over text.

I like what you've done so far. One suggesting that would improve the overall look of this figure is to define areas w/ some black lining. A small brush and thinned black paint.

Areas to define.

Gold armor from purple and fleur de lis on legs.
Pink skirting from armor.
around the bird in hand.

Next suggestion would be to shade the eyes a little bit. a small amount of your base flesh mixed with dark brown or black. Then thin w/ water....maybe 5 water, 1 paint. Then just go under your pupil and around the nose. Under the brow too.

Good luck and keep painting. This is a very challenging figure.

I really need to post my St. Celestine on here. Looks good.

If you're curious, there is a BADASS model from Privateer Press that could potentially make a really nice Celestine replacement model.

The Harbinger of...The Sisters of Battle!

You know, that would make a fun conversion! swap out the shoulder pads with some space marine ones and use green stuff to make some sisters icons. Chop the head and do a swap with one not blind folded. swap out the sword and of course change the banner to a sisters version
oh and add some of the servo skulls from the devastator box sets hovering around her base

Yeah, back in my Warmachining days, I built and painted one of her. Quite possibly the hardest model I've ever had to put together. TONS of pinning required.

But yeah, I don't know if you'd have to do THAT much customizing but I think it could be a neat project.
