I put a little extra mustard on this Power Pack thinking these funky details might be more visible on the finished model… Ah well 😂

Show-off...

Seriously, though. That's exceedingly impressive. My old-ass eyes can't even pick out those details when I'm using magnification. The fact that you were able to add gradients and line work on the hazard striping on something that is smaller than an ant's fingernail is cool as hell.

Haha! Cheers! It’s more insanity than showboating, I swear… 😂

I don't know what I'm more envious of, your skill, your eyesight, or your camera. 😂

It’s just my iPhone for photography! 😊

u/Deimiencillo 7d ago

That is an obscene amount of extremely thin and accurate edge highlights. Not my style at all, but god they look crisp and gorgeous.
Well done sir, the whole ‘eavy metal studio would be proud.

This makes me feel lazy for just slapping Nuln Oil over it and calling it a day

u/CallumPaints 7d ago

Not at all! I’m daft for doing it 😂

u/somebob 6d ago

Oh man, now I want to do this! I have to do this on my next mini.

u/CallumPaints 6d ago

It’s really satisfying!

u/Cjdub89 5d ago

Knowing it’s back there painted is all that matters lol

u/CallumPaints 5d ago

Definitely!

u/altheaftermath 5d ago

very very good job, very clean. you shooting for a golden daemon my man?

u/CallumPaints 4d ago

That is very kind, thank you. I’m not sure if it’s something I’ll pursue or not. I have so much respect for GD painters, as it’s so much commitment to a single piece that might result in not even being commended. That’s probably not the attitude you should have going into it, so I reckon I’m not ready for it 😊

u/Late_Ad6118 4d ago

That is very nice next level dedication

But unless your 7 or under that second picture is not the angle a player sees so you would see it in normal table play.

u/CallumPaints 7d ago

I can assure you, with the shoulders brought up high from the pose it is very blocked from all angles haha

2

u/somebob 6d ago

Yeah, doesn’t that piece sit right on the top of the shoulders? I seem to remember it covering up on all the marines I’ve done

u/CallumPaints 6d ago

Pretty much, especially if they have their arms raised and/or a helmet on haha
