Painting: Big Mek, MKIII Marines, and Smelioso Dreadnought; 1st BA List

Hey everyone, So I’ve had some time to work on my own projects lately…CRAZY! As I posted on Monday, my MKIII marines came in, and right away I got to assembling and primering them. 3 aren’t assembled as I’m waiting on Powerfists to come in from eBay, but two are: a sergeant and a Meltagunner. The Powerfist Sergeant is a decent kitbash. The fist is off of the Sanguinary Guard sprue, while the Bolt Pistol is an old OOP plastic one I got out of a bitz bag over the summer. The right arm is the standard bolter holding one from the kit, but I trimmed down the end of his arm to change the angle, as well as remove his hand with a sharp knife and replace it with a standard marine hand. A little greenstuff work removed the blood drop on the fist, filled in the gap on his arm, as well as add the small shield emblem on his armor tabard. I’ll really start painting him as soon as I finish this next project. I’ve always wanted to paint the Big Mek with Kustom Force Field. I love the model, and is my 2nd choice behind Buzzgob if I ever do an Ork army. My friend is doing Orks, so I figured I’d rock this model out for him
