Finished! DH Inquisitor & BfM Pilot
Been working on the Inquisitor off and on for almost two months, and cobbled together the Pilot over the last week. Feedback and advice (especially advice!) are always welcome!!
A few trade guidlines:
1) If your feedback is significantly lower, I expect you to ship first, even if I'm buying- Money carries greater risks than minis: I can't buy groceries with a box of Tac Marines!
2) Communication is key! I'm a reasonable guy (I try,) so if there's a problem, tell me!
3) I package things well, you should do the same. Protect minis from each other, too.
4) Leave feedback!

Re: Finished! DH Inquisitor & BfM Pilot
I like the glowy blue in the pilots box, and the red pucker where his cables connect to the back of the head..
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.
If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.
I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Re: Finished! DH Inquisitor & BfM Pilot
Thanks guys!
I don't think I actually did any highlighting on the Inquisitor's helmet; it's probably just glare (my matte varnish isn't as matte as I would like.) I'm actually not happy with the shading on his tan robe, but that was one of the first things I did and I kinda neglected to go back and try to fix it. It's probably just as well, as I would most likely have just made it worse. The main reason I did this guy was because I wanted to try my hand at his cloak/cape, which I'm rather pleased with, but I have to admit that the picture's a bit more flattering with the shade transitions than in real life!
I really like the color of the pilot's test tubes, too. At first I was going to make them purple or red to contrast more with his flight suit and carrying case, but figured "what the heck" and kept it consistent. It's a nice enough effect, and I'm getting a little more used to using thin glazes and getting the right balance between super-thin paint and loading my brush just so. It's amazing how a tiny bit of additional highlight color can make a huge jump in contrast on the surface! It took me a while to get the red inflammation around his head sockets to transition more smoothly with the normal skin, too.

@GH
What matte varnish do you use, that you're unhappy with it?

Re: Finished! DH Inquisitor & BfM Pilot
This one's Krylon, and I've used Citadel and Americana, all with similar results. I actually don't mind all *that* much, but it's drawn frequent comment in the past. I suppose I ought to bite the bullet and shell out the extra for Testors or something.

Re: Finished! DH Inquisitor & BfM Pilot
It's the best. Perfectly matte.
I like to give a coat or 2 of gloss, then a couple coats of Testors matte.
