Arbite...day...meh...1.5

Chugging along at a slow pace, but still happy with him. As you can see from this shot I've started on the front of the torso, the left arm, and finished the head.

The flesh in that helmet is pretty difficult to get to...and the eyeballs are damn near impossible. It took a very fine brush and a lot of patience.

The Orange/Yellow still working out surprisingly well...and for the record this IS NOT GOLD NMM. Not even an attempt at it.

Next up is to finish the left arm (except the hand) and possibly the heavy bolter and some more of the torso. I have to be careful in what order I paint him as some of the model is obscured by the bolter and other parts of the conversion. I generally paint a model like this in pieces....example I would have painted the bolter and left arm as a subassembly and carefully mounted it after it was painted. But as this is a conversion by a customer, the option to pull it apart and assemble it into subassemblies is a no go.
