However, the white strip may well hide of mulititude of slips on the black edge.

I'd also say black hands - love the single slit visor - are you going to get some of TKW's helmet transfers? Don't start...

These are really, really nice, Steve. I was wondering what you've been doing in there.
Awww - thanks everyone! Kind of getting into this customs lark. Any spare minutes I get when the missus is out are tending to be spent with paintbrush in hand!

Got some helmet transfers on their way Baroni! Good job too, as there are quite a lot of works in progress at the moment. And my attempts at freehand are a bit shoddy!

It seems to be agreed - shoulders need to be black, and I agree - in for a penny in for a pound - the white stripes will be added too, and the other white detailing. I toyed with black hands, but they looked a bit weird, so ended up leaving them flesh. Besides, I didn't want them looking too much like my Winter Red Laser! ;-)

very, very nice steve.

i agree about the black shoulders and gloves.

i use the citadel blood red as well but use a dull cote varnish when finished which darkens the red a bit.

cant wait to see more.

Nicely done Steve ;) I would echo the sentiments about shoulders etc. The nature of which, would be irrepressible.

Red Winter.... 8-)
