Chief Librarian Mephiston (Primaris) - Part III

Gap filler.
This is only a very short post, showing after the gaps filled in my green stuff were smoothed out and painted over. The cabling was painted as well so that I could see if any more needs to be done there (no, looks fine).

There is one area on the rear of the psychic hood that was messed up a little from superglue, and I thought it would be fine once painted over, but it's still visible to me. I'm not going to sand it back now however, and instead just hope I can continue to try and conceal it under paint. Perhaps if I paint some circuitry, similar to the Grey Knight weapons, around the connector points (or whatever they are) it will help. Something to think about.

I've started to fill in more of the right arm, although I'll consider darkening it later. Depends how it looks; right now the arm area is just a little too bright compared to the chestpiece, but perhaps I can freehand some muscle lines around it as well, just to continue that effect and tie the armour together more. On a related note, I tried to highlight some of the raised areas and accentuate the muscle lines a little more on the chestpiece. There wasn't as much contrast as I'd liked - in hindsight, perhaps this is an area where contrast paints would have been really useful. Perhaps one day on another model.

On the cape can be seen a small scratch were I missed the mould line and used the mould line remover to flatten it out. Still intend to fix that with an airbrush.

-- silly painter.
